International Driver Conversions in Adelaide

Eastern & North Eastern Suburbs Of Adelaide

The Right Gear has helped hundreds of overseas clients convert their international license to an Australian license. We provide all the necessary training to prepare for a VORT Test (Vehicle on Road Test). When you are ready we can book an examiner and test on your behalf. 

Obtaining an Australian licence is a relatively straight forward process however, there are a number of things you need to be aware of. Although you may have driven for many years in a foreign country and had experience driving in Australia, the way a VORT Test is assessed is very strict.

There are a number of specific manoeuvres, observation checks and system checks that must be strictly adhered to.  When converting an overseas license, regardless of your experience, you should anticipate requiring about three ninety minute lessons before attempting a VORT test.

We advise new clients to book at least one lesson first to give them a clear indication of what is required.

It is perfectly legal to have driving lessons while still on an international license. However you will need to convert your license to a temporary Australian licence prior to booking a VORT test. The temporary Australian license is only valid for three months. You must successfully complete a VORT test within that period otherwise the temporary license will not be renewed and you will placed on a Learners permit. This means you cannot legally drive on your own and you must have a licensed driver in the car while driving until you successfully pass a VORT test. Be aware once you have converted your international to a temporary Australian license your international license is legally invalid. 

All VORT tests must be booked at least three working days in advance. We strongly advise anyone who has already converted their license to a temporary Australian license to commence lessons as soon as possible. If you are unsuccessful on your first attempt at a VORT test you must legally wait three working days before rebooking another test. Unfortunately most examiners are booked anywhere between three to four weeks in advance. 

If you require any additional information please contact us via the website or by phone.
