Edit: The rules are changing for permanent residents - see article.

Temporary residents are allowed to keep using their overseas license.

    Australian Road Rules are a lot different to road rules in other countries.

    Reiterating them with people who know how to drive, but don’t know how to drive in Australia will certainly make DashCams Australia less interesting.

    That said, for every one person using an Overseas licence who drives in a reckless manner (by Australian legal standards), there are dozens of people with Australian Licences who drive recklessly due to arrogance, stubbornness or just pure selfishness.

    This has been the case of a while in Victoria already. Makes sense to me, and hardly much of an imposition since you have to renew your driver’s licence from any country eventually anyway.

    And yeah, if you’re just visiting or on a temporary visa, no probs
