Hi, If you are in
Victoria on a
permanent visa (I.e a non 1 year working holiday visa or Tourist Visa) you can drive on your overseas licence for
only three months from the date you entered Victoria or from the time a permanent visa was issued to you. If you want to continue to drive in Victoria after that time you must apply for a Victorian driver licence
If you hold a driver licence from one of the following countries
you are not required to undertake any tests provided your overseas licence is current or not expired by more than five years.
Austria
Japan
Belgium
Luxembourg
Canada
Netherlands (Holland)
Croatia
Norway
Denmark
Portugal
Finland
Singapore
France
Spain
Germany
Sweden
Greece
Switzerland
Ireland
UK
Italy
USA
All of this has previously been discussed in this section, between Bet and myself. Thread is here:
