As a temporary overseas visitor, if you hold a current driver licence from another country, you are allowed to drive in NSW on your overseas licence as long as:

The lessons go for 1 hour and I’ll pick you up and drop you off. I’ll also talk about your 20 point safety analysis which might take 10-12 minutes.
Q: Will you fill in my log book?
Yes. At the end of the lesson, I’ll fill in your log book.
Q: How long will it take to get my license?
It’s totally dependant on your skills and learning abilities. We show you the safest and most practical way to learn to drive, but every student is different. We will not push you to go for your test until you are ready to drive safely and know all the road rules.
Q: Has the new demerit point system been implemented?
As of 31 January 2011, the demerit points threshold for unrestricted licence holders in NSW increased from 12 to 13 points. From 31 December 2010, demerit points for 22 offences committed on or after this date will be reduced or removed.These include roundabout, indicator, bus lane and towing offences. Demerit points for key road safety offences such as speeding and seatbelt use will remain unchanged, So please follow the previous demerits point system until further notification from RTA.
Q: If I am going to drive an automatic but we have a manual car at home, do you advise that I learn both?
It’s best to learn in an automatic as that’s what you’re going to drive. You can always learn to drive manual later if that’s what you want to do. Driving automatic is also easier to learn than manual, so it helps if you gain confidence and road skills in an automatic before trying to learn manual.
