Did you know that if you’re an international student on a study visa, you can drive in Australia if you have a current driver’s licence from your home country?
Did you know that international students studying in Australia are regarded as temporary residents?
This means that if you have a driver’s licence from your home country you’re legally able to drive here whilst you’re on a student visa.
You must ensure that your licence is current and valid. You must carry your license with you at all times when you are driving. If your licence is not written in English you must also carry a certified translation of your license with you when you drive. If you need assistance contact Redfern Legal Centre.
