Short answer: you don’t “transfer” it nationally—each Aussie state or territory handles licences, and China isn’t on the usual exemption lists. You’ll need an official English translation (NAATI or equivalent), proof of identity and local address, then typically pass the knowledge test and a practical driving test. You can usually drive on your Chinese licence for a limited period after arrival, but the exact rules depend on your state, visa status, and how long you’ve been here. Fees, documents, and test steps vary slightly, but the pattern is the same: book in, study the road rules, and show the examiner you’re smoother than a fresh bitumen bypass. For specifics, check your state authority (e.g., Service NSW, VicRoads, TMR QLD, etc.) before you queue like it’s Boxing Day. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
