Edit: Sorry, I was unclear on the message of the article and accidentally posted a misleading headline.

TL;DR: There are changes for permanent residents but temporary residents can keep using their overseas licenses.

The title is apparently misleading.

Here is a copy-pasta:

"Permanent residents in Australia who use their overseas licence on Aussie roads..."

It’s my imperfect understanding from this.

“The EDR allowed international citizens permanently residing in Australia to transfer their overseas licence to an Aussie one without sitting further exams. However, this will end in most states and territories across Australia on Wednesday.”

I can change it but honestly the finer points of what they’re saying are confusing to me.

I just threw this out there so any affected people can know.
