overseas licence conversion

Converting an overseas driving licence in Australia is about as straightforward as assembling flat-pack furniture without the instructions. Generally, you need to provide your valid foreign licence, proof of identity, and possibly pass a knowledge and practical driving test depending on your country of origin. Some countries have reciprocal agreements, so lucky you might skip the tests. Fees vary by state, but expect to pay between $50 and $150 AUD. Remember, this process can take a few weeks, so don't expect to hit the road immediately. For the nitty-gritty, check your local road authority or ServiceCentral for detailed guides and paperwork.
