Driving in Queensland.
Can I use my Overseas Driver Licence to drive in Queensland?.
If you are visiting Queensland (on a temporary visa) from another country, you can drive if you have a valid overseas licence.
You can’t drive in Queensland with your overseas licence if you have been issued with a Queensland licence.
Your driver licence must be written in English or accompanied by an English translation or international driving permit.
