Visiting Victoria? You can drive on your overseas licence as long as it’s in English (or you carry an official translation/International Driving Permit) and you stick to Victorian rules like everyone else.
If you take up residence in Victoria, you generally have 6 months from the date you become a resident to convert to a Victorian licence—no, they won’t forget. Temporary visa holders can usually keep driving on a valid overseas licence beyond six months, but you must carry your passport/visa and meet any equivalent restrictions (if you’re probationary overseas, behave like one here). You must be at least 18 to drive solo in Victoria, and police will expect your licence, translation/IDP and ID on the spot if asked. Convert sooner rather than later; the paperwork only gets braver the longer you stare at it.
