Do I have to pass the driving test in China to drive in Australia?

If it is a tourist visa or a study visa, it can be opened until the visa expires, and it is enough to go to the officially designated place for translation.

In Sydney, I went to the China Resources New South Wales Government Coordination Center, which is located in the city hall. Note that NSW official rta said that the translation of any notary office in China is invalid and must be an Australian designated institution. I don't know about other states.

If it is an immigrant visa, you must re-test your local driver's license after three months of entry, which is divided into two parts: traffic regulations and road test.

I suggest you translate your China driver's license before driving, find a familiar friend to guide you and get familiar with Australian traffic laws.

I'll give you a website of NSW Transportation Bureau's laws and regulations simulation topic, which has Chinese topics. There are many different traffic laws. For example, you have to wait for the green light to turn a small corner, unlike China who can sneak past. It's safer to get everything right before you go on the road.

First, select the "Go Test" button in the middle to pop up the menu, then select the car, and then select Chinese.
