Driving in Australia
Students who intend to drive in Australia must obey Australian law. An oversea driving license holder must obtain translation if the driving license is not in the English language. You MUST either carry an English Translation or an International Driving Permit. You may refer to the RTA brochure to enrich your information.
Please comply with all the requirements before Education Malaysia Australia (EMA) can process your application smoothly. An incomplete application may delay in processing the application. Please contact EMA if you are facing any problems in filling up the application form.
A Malaysian student holding an Australian permanent residence visa is strictly not entitled to apply, as driving on a foreign license while holding this type of visa is illegal. Please contact your local road traffic authority to apply for a local license.
