You need to also wait a few days before registering - they need to be notified by Customs that you are here. This is done by computer, but can take a day or two. My internet is slow tonight, so pages not loading. But the main Medicare website is here: http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/ There will be a 'contact us' button, just follow that to get a list of service centres in NSW. That will give you the address Yes you can drive on your UK licence for up to 3 months. Transferring it to an Aus one as soon as you can is a good idea though as it's a really good form of ID. :) |

If your visa is a permanent visa, then it's up to 3 months. Temporary visa holders don't have to get a NSW licence.
Although an Aus one is still good to have for the ID factor. |
