Hi all.
Looking for some advice on driving in Australia.
I now have a two year visa, so looking to pick up a car. What should I be aware of?
Any tips on insurance? I dont have an Australian licence, only UK. Is this an issue?
Any road tax equivalent I should be aware of?
Pitfalls/protection when buying privately?
Thanks in advance!!

So after a few viewings, I can see how offering below the asking is not realistic.
It's so competitive out there. I have no idea how I'll make my application stand out - genuinely worried.

How open to negotiation are landlords/agents?
Is it expected that the tenant pay the asking price or that it is negotiated downwards?
Thanks!

Hi All.
I've been in Melbourne a few months, waiting for my 457 visa to be applied for (should happen this week). Not expecting any issues.
I'm fed up of moving around whilst this happens. Two questions:
1) can the company I work for sign a 12 months lease on an apartment?
2) can I sign a lease, even if I only have a tourist visa?
It would be great to settle somewhere knowing I dont have to move again for a while!
Thanks

Hi. Just flagging my potential interest. I arrive on the 11th though, which might be a bit late for you.

Hello forum! New poster here....
I move to Melbourne in a weeks time and was wondering how owning a car works.
1) I assume eventually I'll need an AU driving licence - what are the rules around this?
2) Car insurance isn't a legal requirement like it is at home but I assume most people get it anyway - will I hit high premiums with my UK licence?
3) Good places to buy a car in Melbourne? Any car supermarket type places?
4) any MOT style requirements?
Anything else relevant would be really useful. Thanks!
