Czechia was categorized as one of recognized countries by Austroads in July 2026. This means the Czech driver licence holders residing in Australia will be allowed to apply for Australian driver licence without further testing. This is a result of talks between relevant Czech and Australian authorities and was officially announced on Austroads´website HERE. The change is being implemented in individual states in stages. As implementation dates will vary, licence holders should check when the changes take effect in their state or territory before applying. So far, implementation is confirmed for ACT.
