Ride the class on your licence
You can only ride the type of vehicle your licence shows, and you must follow its conditions. A car class is enough for our 50cc scooters. Our 110cc and 125cc bikes need a motorcycle class.

Riding in Queensland on an overseas licence
The Queensland Government page is the official source. Here it is in plain words.
Licence not in English?
Carry a recognised English translation when you ride. Show it to police with your licence. You do not need to upload a translation to apply.
Living in Queensland for good?
Australian citizens, and people with a permanent or special category visa, must change to a Queensland licence after living in Queensland for 3 months. This rule is not for temporary visas.
This is a summary, not legal advice. Check the official page for your own situation.
Questions
Can I ride in Queensland on my overseas licence?
Yes, if it is valid. Ride only the class on your licence and follow its conditions. A car class is enough for our 50cc scooters. A motorcycle class is needed for our 110cc and 125cc bikes. If it is not in English, carry a recognised English translation.
Do I need to upload a translation?
No. Upload the front and back of your licence and a photo of your passport photo page.
Can I ride for delivery on an overseas licence?
Check each app first. For example, Uber Eats does not take overseas licences for motorbike delivery. Riding for delivery is business use and needs an ABN.
