If you hold a full foreign licence and are 20 or over, you will be required to pass:
a theory test
a Hazard Perception Test and
a practical driving test, with an authorised examiner.
After passing a practical driving test with a private authorised examiner, a further practical driving test with a government assessment officer is sometimes required. This is part of the government audit process and is called a validation assessment. There is no charge for this test.
When you have passed these driving tests you will receive a certificate of competency.
Present your certificate of competency at a Service SA customer service centre and apply for a South Australian driver's licence.
After you have paid the fee and had your photograph taken, a temporary driver's licence will be issued and your photo licence will be posted to you.
