Question

Can I use an Australian drivers licence in NZ? Or do I need a permit?

Answer 1

You can use your Aussie drivers license for up to one year - If you still continue to live in the country after the year, you must gain a New Zealand driver license.  

Just stick to the class you are allowed to drive though.

Yes, you can use driver's license, of Australia, in New Zealand,  provided that it has not been expired.  Remember to carry your passport at all times when driving a car!

Best of luck

Please consult the Embassy of New Zealand in Australia for they are the only ones allowed to give to accurate information.
