No one has ever given me a straight answer (from non NSW States) about a vehicle arriving in NSW from overseas and then travelling to another State. There are regulations in each State that recognise the other States insurance schemes.
If you arrive in Australia in any other State than NSW then you have to go through whatever that State requires.

Yes I have understood that there are slightly different laws/rules about this in every state in Aus. I hava had a long thread about this earlier on. I arrived in NT and got third party insurance there - and I was told it was only valid in NT. Then I rode from Darwin to Perth. And I repeated the procedure in Perth. Problem was I have already been riding more than 3 weeks in WA and thousands of kms - without valid insurance. Because you cannot get a new policy on each state border.
And another problem is that it is very time consuming and expensive to find the correct offices, get the bike checked etc and pay for all this in each and every state. In Perth I was sent off to 3 different locations to get it sorted just for one state. After that I decided to drop the rest of the states and hopw that the insurance I was sold in WA was valid in other states as well. Luckily I never had to find out that.
