Driving lessons

Overseas licence conversion

You already know how to drive. This is about the Victorian rules, the local road habits, and the specific things a VicRoads assessor watches for.

Overview

What these lessons cover

If you hold an overseas licence from a country that does not have a full mutual recognition agreement with Victoria, you may need to pass the VicRoads knowledge test, a hazard perception test, and a practical drive test. These lessons focus on the gap between how you drive now and what the assessment expects: give-way rules, roundabout lane discipline, keeping left, speed tolerance, and the mirror and head-check routine assessors want to see.

What is included

In every booking

  • A first drive to identify differences from driving in your home country
  • Victorian road rules that commonly catch experienced drivers out
  • Roundabout lane discipline, keeping left, and give-way priority
  • The observation routine assessors want to see, mirrors and head checks
  • Optional test package: warm-up plus car hire for the practical assessment

Who it suits

Is this you?

Experienced drivers on an overseas licence who need to pass the Victorian practical test, and recent arrivals who want to drive locally with confidence before the assessment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I definitely need to sit a test?
It depends on the country that issued your licence and your visa status. Check the VicRoads overseas licence pages for your situation. If you do need the practical test, these lessons prepare you for it.
Can I use your car for the practical test?
Yes. Add the driving test package for a warm-up lesson on the route and car hire for the assessment.
I drove on the left at home. Is it still worth lessons?
Usually yes. Even drivers from left-side countries get caught by Victorian give-way rules, roundabout lane use, and the strict speed and observation standard in the test.
Which transmission are lessons in?
Lessons and the test are in an automatic 2025 Hyundai i30 sedan. A Victorian licence passed in an automatic covers automatic vehicles.
