If you're a tourist, you can generally drive in Australia for up to three months on your Mauritian driving licence, provided it is in English. However, if you're planning to stay longer than three months, you'll need to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP).
To apply for an IDP, you'll need to present your original Mauritian driving licence, a valid passport and two passport-sized photographs. You can apply for an IDP at any Australian Automobile Association (AAA) office.
It's important to note that some states and territories in Australia have additional requirements for foreign drivers. For example, in some states, you may be required to display a foreign driver's licence sticker on your vehicle.
Before you start driving in Australia, it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the local traffic laws and regulations. You can find information about traffic laws and regulations on the websites of the Australian Government Department of Infrastructure and Transport and the state or territory where you'll be driving.
