hi, me and my partner are emigrating to brisbane in 2 years, i currently dont have a trade or any qualifications but my partner is a midwife, i am looking at getting my class 2 then my class 1 driving licences. i believe they dont count for anything in oz? would i have to train again and resit my tests when i get there? also what driving categorys are there in oz? does anybody know if adr and cpc counts for anything, and finally is it expensive to obtain all categorys on an australian licence as i might just wait untill i get there and do the lot!

any help would be brilliant, thanks.

 

Hi,
I believe only a car or motorbike licence is transferable, heavey goods and Bus licences have to be local, i do not believe that they accept UK class 1 or any other.

Hopefully someone else may have more detailed info for you, but if you google queensland driving it should take you to the site to look at how they work here.

 

Hiya
Colin is right only car and motorbike are eligible for a straight swap, ANY truck licence does have to be gained here. Have a look at the QLD transport link i found you as it explains all the different categorys here
Licence classes and codes

Good Luck and i hope this helps
