Thank you for your reply email. My name is Lee and I am able to assist you.

We need to confirm the following information:

. is the vehicle registered in your home country
. are you visiting on a temporary basis.

If so, it can be driven in Australia if it meets all of the above conditions. Also, it must have appropriate transport accident cover. By having coverage in NSW, you should be fine to drive in Victoria during your stay.

I hope this information is helpful to you.

If you do have any further questions, please do not hesitate to email us back through the link Feedback & enquiries : VicRoads, providing your email reference 500669881. We will then aim to respond within seven working days.

Alternatively, you may contact the VicRoads Call Centre from overseas on 03 8391 3216 (8.30am - 5.00pm Monday to Friday, 8.30am - 2.00pm Saturday AEST), to discuss your enquiry further with a VicRoads consultant.


Kind regards

I asked if an overseas registered vehicle arriving from overseas in NSW on a Carnet de Passage would be allowed to travel in Victoria using the NSW third party arrangements and gave the weblink to Visiting overseas vehicle < Get a new rego < Registration < Roads and Maritime Services
Great information....thanks.

Betty and Arnold are arriving in Darwin where they will get there CTP insurance. The question is, does Northern Territory CTP cover them for all the other states, which is an answer that is still being waited on. They will not be getting CTP insurance in NSW, because NSW does not require that a visiting overseas vehicle apply for CTP!See your link at the end of your post.

When I have asked if NT CTP will cover Betty and Arnold, all the other states have pointed me back to the NT and said "Find out if the NT CTP covers you for travel in other Australian States"... So we are waiting to find out if NT will cover in ALL states. The other alternative is to get CTP in each state, excluding NSW??

Do you think the person who sent the email is offering a personal viewpoint or a point of law?

Also, it must have appropriate transport accident cover. By having coverage in NSW, you should be fine to drive in Victoria during your stay.
CTP (Transport accident cover??) is not neccessary in NSW for a overseas visting vehicle... and "you should be fine" ...where does it say that?

I have found it sadly frustrating that clear answers are not forthcoming, but its well know each Australian State has its own way of doing things, and as bnicho from this forum pointed out, even Australians get caught in the mess>>

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
