Do we need an international driving licence in Australia?

Yes, as an Indian visitor, you can generally drive in Australia using a valid Indian driving licence provided it is printed in English. Most Australian states allow you to use your home country licence for a temporary stay. However, it is highly recommended to carry an International Driving Permit issued by your local RTO in India. This permit serves as an official translation and is often required by car rental agencies and insurance providers to verify your credentials. Always carry your original Indian licence alongside the permit while driving.
