If you have entered Victoria on a permanent visa issued under the Migration Act 1958 you may drive on your overseas driver licence, providing it is written in English or accompanied by an English translation or international driving permit for:
6 months from the date you first entered Australia if the permanent visa was issued before you entered Australia, or
6 months from the date when the permanent visa was issued to you if the permanent visa was issued to you while in Australia.
If you want to continue driving in Victoria after this time you must get a Victorian driver licence. If your overseas driver licence has expired, you will still be able to take the drive test as you are exempt from holding a learner permit for the test. https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/ ... ia/overseas-drivers
