Confidence Starts BeforeYou Get Your Licence.

Overseas Licence Conversion

Moved to Melbourne with an overseas licence? You can generally keep driving on it for up to six months after you become a permanent resident - after that, a Victorian licence is required. If your licence was issued in a country with a recognised exchange agreement (such as the UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Japan or South Korea), you can usually swap it over at a VicRoads service centre without sitting a test. If it came from a country without an agreement - including India, China and the Philippines - you'll need a Victorian learner permit, then a full VicRoads drive test.

That's where we come in. You already know how to drive; our job is to bridge the gap between how you learned and what a Victorian testing officer expects. Lessons focus on the local rules that catch experienced overseas drivers out - hook turns in the CBD, giving way at roundabouts, tram stops and shared-lane etiquette, school zone speed limits and consistent lane positioning. Most drivers coming from a left-hand-traffic country need only a handful of lessons; those adjusting from right-hand traffic typically need a few more, depending on how recently and how often they've been driving.

We'll assess where you're at in your first lesson, tell you honestly how many you're likely to need, take you through the local test routes, and have our car available on the day of your assessment.

• Honest lesson-count assessment up front - no padded packages
• Victorian-specific road rules: hook turns, trams, roundabouts, school zones
• Familiarisation with the local VicRoads test routes
• Use of our dual-control vehicle on test day
• Automatic lessons, in your own time (manual currently unavailable)

Licence requirements, fees and eligibility are set by VicRoads and can change - please confirm your own situation at vicroads.vic.gov.au.
