If you are not a permanent resident and you hold a current foreign driver's licence you may drive a vehicle of the same class in South Australia.
If you are working on a current temporary visa and your foreign licence expires, you must apply for a new licence in South Australia.
To drive using your foreign licence you must also hold a current international driving permit unless your foreign licence is written in English or accompanied by an approved English translation.
You must not be disqualified from driving in any country.
You must carry your licence (and English translation or international driving permit) at all times while driving, and produce it to police on request. You may also be required to produce your temporary visa as evidence of temporary residential status.

i have spoken to people in transport SA regarding my friend's fine. the guy in transports SA said if he has been in australia more than 12 months, then he has to get australia license....
anyway i think everyone tells different story. when you got caught, have to see how lucky you are. if you have luck, you won't get a fine, or too bad...作者: mattxia 时间: 12-12-2009 20:33
