"Registering a vehicle in Australia
Once bought, a vehicle (car bus truck motorbike)must be registered. Vehicles are registered in their owner’s state of residence, and are overseen by varying state agencies. You do not need to register a vehicle in the state in which it was purchased.
State agencies in Australia
Victoria - http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au
New South Wales – http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au
Queensland - http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au
South Australia - http://www.transport.sa.gov.au
Western Australia - http://www.transport.wa.gov.au
Tasmania – http://www.transport.tas.gov.au
Northern Territory – http://www.nt.gov.au/transport/mvr
Australia Capital Territory - http://www.canberraconnect.act.gov.au
Registration requirements vary between the states, but generally involve identification documents (passport) and a driver’s license (be sure it is an English language one or an international driver’s license), receipt of sale and a roadworthiness certificate.
Beware any car sale that does not include a roadworthy certificate. Most advertisements will actually itemise when the current certificate expires, such is their importance. Without one, any purchase may result in considerable expense – as there may be large improvements that need to be made in order for the car to pass inspection.
Registration will also require a permanent address within Australia, which sometimes makes an advance purchase difficult; however, international companies and hostels often assist with the establishment of a postal address for such situations. "
