Driving in Victoria as an International Student
Studying or living in Shepparton, Mooroopna, Kialla or Tatura? I offer calm, patient automatic driving lessons for international students and overseas licence holders. Build confidence on Victorian roads or prepare for a licence conversion test.
Can I drive on my overseas licence?
You can drive in Victoria on a current overseas licence or learner permit if it covers the vehicle you are driving and you plan to live and drive in Victoria for less than six months. Carry your overseas licence when driving. If it is not in English, also carry an English translation or an International Driving Permit in English.
If you plan to live in Victoria for more than six months, you must convert your overseas licence or learner permit to a Victorian one. The six-month period starts on the day you first begin living in Victoria, and leaving Victoria and returning does not restart it. Requirements depend on where your licence was issued, your age when it was first issued and how long you have held it. Check your requirements with the VicRoads overseas licence checker.
If you do not have an overseas licence
Contact VicRoads about getting a Victorian learner permit before arranging lessons. Learner permit holders must be supervised by someone with a full Australian or overseas driver licence. For lessons in my car, please have your current Victorian learner permit before booking so the lesson meets my insurance requirements.
Lessons are in an automatic Toyota Corolla Hybrid and are available in Shepparton, Mooroopna, Kialla and Tatura. We can practise local road rules, roundabouts, lane positioning, parking, observation checks and the skills you need for your conversion test.
Ready to practise? Book a lesson or contact Chris to discuss your licence situation before choosing a test package.
