New WA Resident
If you are the holder of a permanent visa granted under
the Migration Act 1958, you can drive in WA on a valid
overseas licence until you have resided in WA for three
months following the grant of the permanent visa.
After residing in WA for three months from the grant of a
permanent visa, you must apply for a WA driver’s licence
to continue to drive lawfully in WA.
Failure to do so will make you liable for prosecution under
the Road Traffic Act 1974.
