When digital licences are launched in NSW at the end of 2018, everyone will have the option to carry virtual licences on their phones.
NSW currently issues more than 23 million licences each year, covering 769 different licence types. The first licences to go digital are for recreational fishing, responsible service of alcohol (RSA) and responsible conduct of gambling (RCG).
NSW is the first state to work actively towards digital licences. Victoria has no immediate plans to introduce them but South Australia is reported to be investigating digital licences for tradespeople, before running a broader trial.
