Converting an overseas driver's licence in Australia
Getting an Australian driver's licence is one of the first practical jobs after arriving, and the rules fragment in two directions at once: by the state you live in and by the country your licence is from. There's no national licence — you transfer it with your state's road authority — and whether you have to sit a knowledge and driving test depends on whether your country is on the 'recognised' list. This hub indexes Migratio's guides: how long you can drive on your overseas licence before you must convert, what 'recognised country' means, the conversion process in each major state, and the specific picture for high-volume origin countries. Licence rules differ by state and change, so every guide points you to the official road authority. General information only, not legal advice.
