Brazil → WA
Brazil is generally not on the Australian recognised list, so most Brazilian drivers need to pass the Western Australia theory test and practical test to convert.
What you'll likely need in WA
You'll most likely need to pass the Western Australia theory test (Computerised Theory Test (CTT)) and a practical driving test. KangaLearner gets you ready for the theory. Free, in your language.
Becoming a resident? You'll need to convert
- Australian citizens and permanent residents may drive on the overseas licence for up to 3 months and must apply to transfer within that period — after 3 months the overseas licence is no longer valid to drive in WA.
- Whether you need to sit tests depends on whether your country is on the recognised list.
- Prove your identity, pass an eyesight test, and pay the fees.
- Check the official Department of Transport (WA) steps before you book anything.
Rules change and depend on your visa. This is a plain-English guide, not legal advice. Always confirm with Department of Transport (WA).
