* you have not accrued 13 demerit points; or
* you are not convicted of a serious driving offence

Your Philippine driver license is valid if it has not expired, it has not been suspended, or you have not been disqualified from driving.

If you are on student visa and arrived in NSW on or after 1 July 2023, you can only use your Philippine driver license for the first 6 months. If you are staying for more than 6 months in NSW, you have to obtain a NSW driver license.
