actualy i asked 10 years ago the same question to the traffic dep. the answer was very logic as long as on a visit visa means any visa (family or contract or ...) you can drive on int. driving license but once you have the RP you should make a qatari driving license and i'm sure that you can not say on any visa without RP more than 6 months
Most hire car companies (check with them) will only allow 7 days on your Aussie license or two weeks on your internation. These periods are from date of entry into Qatar.
You won't lose your Aussie licence, you just get a qatari one as well.
Previously the aussie license were converted into a qatar license. You need to do the eye test only and will get your license immidiately. Check with the traffic dept in madinath khalifa. good luck :)

The above is for a private car

depends on the insurer, Qatar Insurance Company said this in email to me
Thank you for your email! With regards to your query below, a foreigner is valid to drive in Doha with the following conditions:
Foreign driver with his country valid driving license allowed driving only for one week from entry date
Foreign driver with international valid driving license allowed driving for 6 months from entry date
Foreign driver with GCC driving license allowed driving for 3 months from entry date
As an Aussie your driving licence should be transferable to a Qatar one with only the eyetest (temporary, then permanent once RP sorted).
IT IS VALID FOR 6 MONTHS FROM THE DATE YOU ENTER THE COUNTRY IT IS WRITTEN IN QATARIS LAW

it will work for 15 days from the date of entering the country. i used my int. drivg license for 2 weeks and then i made a qatari one.
