verystormy Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Tax file number and medicare card are the two to do. No need to change driving licence as you are a temporary resident. But you must carry your licence when ever you are driving - as does everyone here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfie Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi stormy I thought you had to change your licence after 3 months or doesnt that apply if on a 457 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keith73 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Your best bet is to change your licence when you get here as its another form of ID, also get you visa put in your passport you can do it before you get here by sending your passport to London or do it when you arrive in Perth. You are not required to change your licence on a 457. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
