What state are you from? we are from QLD and DS got his renewed by filling out all relative forms and sending in a photo. We did get it sent to my DS who then forwarded it here. You have 5 yrs to renew it but you will need a current licence to get a UAE one So whichever state you are from go on their website and download all the forms

I guess I would write to relevant authority (eg. RTA in NSW) and explain you are travelling overseas and didnt realise it had expired. Attach copy of passport showing exit from Oz. Dont know how they will go about issuing new one though. Maybe consulate here could advise? Technically you are supposed to be resident to hold NSW licence with NSW address. We have just used our parents address. We will have same problem to renew next year, so let us know what happens.

Is it the license or the picture that has expired? Sorry dont know how oz ones work, but i do know that the UK DVLA can fax you a certificate and cover letter (at a cost) stating that you are licensed to drive but your photo has expired.
