Converting an overseas driving licence in Australia goes through your state or territory road authority—not some mysterious national desk with a rubber‑stamp obsession.
Bring proof of ID and local address, your current licence, and a certified translation if it isn’t in English.
Depending on the issuing country and your driving history, you might be test‑exempt—or you may need a knowledge test, hazard perception, and possibly a practical drive.
Time limits apply once you become a resident (they differ by state), so get it done before the clock runs out.
Expect fees, book ahead, and note that medical declarations can be required.
Check the official guidance for your state (Service NSW, VicRoads, TMR QLD, DoT WA, etc.) for the exact rules and steps.
