If you just came and intend to live in Queensland, you need to convert your registration and your driving license to Queensland one. Here is how to do it: (I just did mine from NSW Rego and license).
You need to go to Queensland Transport, for the list of their locations, click here.
Driving License:
1. Just bring your current driving license and proof of address. (it can be electricity bill, bank statement, etc as long as your address written on it).
2. Bring your medicare card (if you are not Australian or Permanent Residence, please bring your passport).
3. Pay for your new license fee, they have option for 1,2,3,4,5 years. I paid $68 for 5 years one.
4. After you paid, they will take your picture and done. You’ll get your QLD Lisence on the spot, all proceess les than 10 minutes.
Car Registration:
1. First, you need to get Road Worthy Cerificate (RWC) in order to transfer your car registration to QLD. Just book for road worthy inspection from your preffered mechanic, Kmart Tyre and Auto service or Repco, or any authorized mechanic. You can check Automotive Repairer Hotline, to find mechanic near you. The RWC costs $60.
2. Bring the RWC, Your car’s number plates, and Current Registration Paper to Queeensland Transport. You have to surrender the number plate to them and they will give you the new QLD ones.
3. You need to have a Compulsory Third Party Insurance (CTP) when you are registering your car. All you need to do is to tell them which insurer you choose (RACQ, AAMI, NRMA, Suncorp, Etc), you don’t need to deal with the insurer yourself, just pay through Queensland Transport when you pay for your car registration.
4. You have an option to pay 6 months or 12 months registration. The price is varied depending the plan you choose and what type of car you own. In my case, I paid $584 for 12 months rego on 2002 Toyota Corolla. That’s it.
The process is about similar in all other states throughout Australia except for the CTP. In other states, (as far I know) you have to do it by yourself before you go to the Transport Office.
Transport Authorities in other states:
ACT: www.rego.act.gov.au
NSW: www.rta.nsw.gov.au
Victoria: www.vicroads.vic.gov.au
South Australia: www.transport.sa.gov.au
Western Australia: www.dpi.wa.gov.au
Northern Territory: www.nt.gov.au/transport/

Hey, did your car have to be inspected by dep. of transport at all? (apart from the RWC by mechanic) Did dep. transport need to look under the hood?

I am thinking of Shipping my vehicle from New York to Miami and have been looking into putting the vehicle on an auto transport or driving it myself and spending a few days doing that. I have found several companies that will do the job. The different price ranges I have found are amazing. Looks like there are no set rules as far as pricing goes. Some are real righ and some are real low. I read that the low ball offers usually wont get the car shipped in a timely manner. It looks like about $900 is what I can expect to pay if I am going to go with an Auto Shipper that is reputable.

Wow what a great blog with lots of info which I am sure most of us will be benefited.
One more thing I want to clarify. I am hoping to relocate from Vic to QLD and holding Vic DL. When I move there as you said you could get the Vic DL converted to QLD over the counter but I was wondering whether you need to give the current Vic DL to get the QLD as if I need to go back to Vic then again I will have to do the same thing
Any idea mate ?
Thanks
