converting nz licence to australian wa

So you've landed in Western Australia and want to swap that Kiwi driver's licence for an Aussie one? Good news: WA makes it fairly painless for New Zealanders. Generally, you can transfer your valid NZ licence without sitting a driving test, provided you do so within three months of arriving.

Key points:

• You must visit a WA Department of Transport centre with your NZ licence, proof of identity, and residency evidence.
• You'll likely need to pass an eyesight test on the spot.
• There may be a small fee involved, usually around AUD 40-50.
