Vic Roads - Driving in Victoria
Transport in the centre of Melbourne is great and you’re better off using public transport than driving. However if you love your car and can’t survive without it, like most of us then you’ll need to get yourself a licence for the state you’ll be driving in. Driving licences apply to states here and not Australia as a whole.
Currently you can drive in Victoria for a maximum of three months on your full UK driving licence. We decided to get a licence eligible for driving in Victoria for two reasons. One, we’ll need one sooner than later. Two, it’s a popular form of identification.
The government agency responsible for all motor issues within Victoria is called Vic Roads, UK’s equivalent to DVLA. (you can get to Vic Roads via the tram, number 01 or 08 on Lygon Street)
