Each Australian state and territory is an authority responsible for the issuing of driver’s licences.

Australian licences are valid Australia wide.

The minimum age for driving is either 17 or 18 years, depending on the state or territory.

Driving licences are issued for a set period of time and a fee is payable for each renewal.

Driving Licence: You Must Up-Date.

Within the first 3 months of being here it is necessary to get an Australian driving licence.

Depending on where you are from, (some countries licences are recognized as being similar) this may mean taking a theory driving test (a multiple choice test on the rules of the road) rather than a complete theory and practical re-test.
