So, you've landed in New South Wales and want to swap that shiny overseas licence for an Aussie one? Here's the skinny: if your licence is from a recognised country, you can simply apply for an equivalent NSW licence without sitting a driving test. But if it's from a place that NSW doesn’t fancy, prepare for a knowledge test and possibly a practical driving test.
You'll need to visit a Service NSW centre, bring your current licence, proof of identity, and proof of residency. Expect to pay a fee somewhere around $50 to $100 AUD. Remember, you must convert your licence within three months of arriving, or you risk fines and headaches.
For the nitty-gritty, check ServiceCentral or the NSW Roads and Maritime Services website. And yes, Tradingpost might help you find a car while you sort this out.
