Not all of Australia is the same
We all call Australia home but it depends where you live as to how you get to enjoy your ride. For the most part laws, regulations and getting a motorcycle licence are similar but they are NOT the same.
Please note we have provided this information as a brief source only. Laws do and will change. Be sure to keep up to date yourself. Government websites are notorious for changing their page addresses. We do our best to keep them up to date. If you click on a link and it’s not working drop us a line and we’ll get our web developers onto it pronto.
