The alarms only go off when you transfer rego of a car to NSW linked to that licence.
You could live in NSW for 20 years and no one will be bothered with it.
Have never been told to convert to either state even given the written wording, no one questions it, the cops don't and even during Covid border closures.
State licencing is a real grey area, especially when you are living on the road like the other 250 000 people on the Wallaby do.
beauty of it is, I can buy, transfer registration NSW cars/trucks in my name, drive them around almost till they run out of rego, then transfer them straight to Victorian rego without a RWC.
All my vehicles are registered in Vic.
Also cheaper to hire cars with a NSW licence than Vic for some reason.
Licences here should be Federal instead, would stop a lot of confusing BS.

You're the exception, not the rule

Introduction
If you've moved to NSW from another Australian state or territory, you can only drive in NSW on an interstate licence for 3 months. After that period you'll need to visit a Service NSW Centre and apply to transfer your licence to a NSW driver licence.

You will need to convert your interstate licence to a Victorian driver licence if you will be living in Victoria for 6 months or more.

Go tell both Service NSW and VicRoads they're both wrong
If you move here, you need our licence, if you move to NSW, you need their licence
