Guest The Pom Queen Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 What visa are you on? If on a WHV you can renew your U.K one online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collie Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 If you are on a temporary visa (417, 457), you can drive in Australia on a UK license AFAIK. If you are on a PR visa you should have switched to an Australian license within 3 months. You hand in your UK license and I think you need to sit the theory test (computer multiple choice), do an eye test, pay the money and you're good to go.

Loki Grundy Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I moved to NSW since last year and I have the worst experience by not obtaining the NSW license when driving (at the time I had my Victoria driving license, and I was so busy that I unintentionally forgot to apply for a NSW one within the first 3 months in NSW). As a result, I was stopped by the police for a random breath alcohol test and received a $550 notice of fine for not obtaining the right license. Hope that you guys won't have the same experience like mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
