The Document is required Driver License

Australia has the National Driver Licensing Scheme (NDLS). This scheme led to the introduction of a single driver license design, classification system and eligibility requirements and a standard set of rules for important driver licensing activities, including the issue, modification or renewal, suspension or the cancellation of licenses.

Even though Australia has an NDLS that is a federated licence scheme (administered by each state and territories) however, the NDLS is a standard for all Australian jurisdictions. It, as it is, allows for reciprocity between Australian jurisdictions for driver licenses in the event of transferring across jurisdictions.
