Just moved to Australia and wondering how to get your overseas driver’s license converted? You’re not alone — and you’re in the right place! At Sunshine Driving Training, we specialize in Overseas License Conversion, helping you hit the road legally, confidently, and quickly.
Whether you’ve been driving for years or are looking to polish your skills for Australian roads, our expert team of instructors is here to guide you through the entire process with ease.
What Is Overseas License Conversion?
In Australia, overseas license holders must convert their license to a local one to continue driving legally — especially if you’re planning to stay long-term. This process involves:
- Verifying your overseas license
- Passing a knowledge test
- Passing a practical driving test (VORT or CBT)
Sounds like a lot? Don’t worry — Sunshine Driving Training is here to make it simple, fast, and stress-free.
Who Needs to Convert Their Overseas License?
You need to convert your overseas license if:
- You hold a permanent visa or are applying for one
- You’ve been in South Australia for more than 3 months
- Your overseas license is not from a recognized country for automatic conversion
Still not sure if you need a conversion? Just give us a call — we’ll help you figure it out in minutes.
Sunshine’s Step-by-Step Conversion Program
We’ve built a tailored process to make your conversion smooth and successful. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: License Check & Advice
We check your overseas license, assess your eligibility, and advise the best conversion path.
Step 2: Knowledge Test Support
Need help with the theory? We offer support sessions to prepare you for the Driver Knowledge Test (DKT).
Step 3: Practical Test Preparation
Once you pass the knowledge test, it’s time to prepare for the on-road driving test (either VORT or CBT). We’ll guide you with:
- Real test route practice
- Local road rules and signs
- Common test mistakes to avoid
- Parking, lane changes, roundabouts, and more
Step 4: Book Your Driving Test
When you’re ready, we’ll help you book your VORT or CBT with a certified examiner — and even offer the option to use our dual-control vehicle for added safety.
