driving test & tax
Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone can tell me if you have to take a driving test again once you go to live out there?
Also what about car tax ? do they have that like us?
If someone can let me know.
thanks katherine

Yes Katherine, each state is differant but normally have to sit it within 3 months of moving here. Its a pretty easy test though so don't worry. We have Car Registration here. In Melbourne I pay $500 a year for it.

Yes on both accounts
Car tax is called 'rego' (car registration) and must be paid annually
By law you should apply for your Oz licence within 3 months of taking up residency. I think for most states it is just a written test and not a driving test as well (it's certainly only written for Vic - multiple choice, about 30 Qs). You should also take evidence of UK no claims discount with you as this can be transferred to Oz. My car insurance premium dropped as soon as I gave my Oz licence details so it pays to get the licence asap once you get there.
Good luck

This one is for S.A.
My "Rego" in QLD is $226, but you also need to pay a compulsory third party (CTP) insurance, and that, for me, is $357
CTP covers only personal injury claims for anyone you might hit.
You need other Car Insurance as usual. I pay $400 comprehensive in QLD, but it was $700 in NSW
