Our tips

- The “Automobile Clubs” : in Australia, they are part of the culture and really convenient! You pay an annual membership of around AU$75 and it gives you the right to their “Roadside assistance”, meaning that if you r car breaks, they come to help you for free, unless they have to change some items. Mechanics are really expensive in Australia so if you drive around a lot or if you don’t know much about mechanics, this is really worthwhile considering being a member. You just have to call them and they will come wherever you are!! They are named differently according to the state you are in: NRMA in NSW, RACV in Victoria, RACQ in Queensland…

- Drivers license :your don’t need to reseat the tests again in Australia, a translation into English by the relevant transport office in your state is enough. However if you are resident and plan to stay permanently in Australia, you’d better reseat the code and the driving tests.
Particularities: each state has its own code and drivers license; you have to pay for your license and it has to be renewed every year or 2 or 5 or 10 years, the cost depending on the duration you have chosen for your drivers license; you have to bring your own vehicle to the driving test. In Australia, your drivers license is used as an ID!
