Your LS
All new drivers must apply for the learners license to the Vic Roads department. All drivers must be 16 years old or older and you must pass the driving exam.
There are two different exams you will be tested on:
- A Knowledge test
- An eyesight test
1 - First of all, you must study for the knowledge test. This exam contains 32 questions and the pass score is 78%. All drivers will have to answer at least 25 questions right to pass.
To be prepared, you can access the “Road to Solo Driving handbook” which you may download from the official VicRoads website. Note that there are different languages available for you to facilitate comprehension.
2 - Once the driver is ready to take the official exam, proceed to schedule an appointment and visit the VicRoads customer service department to access the test.
To make an appointment you can use different ways:
- Visit the VicRoads customer service center - Due to COVID19 this service may not be available.
- Online - make your appointment fast and easy entering the official VicRoads website.
- By phone - calling the number 13 11 71.
The VicRoads has strict rules when attending to the scheduled appointments. In case you are late to your appointment, (for more than 5 minutes), you will have to schedule a new appointment and a new fee will have to be paid. With 24 hrs notice period, and/or under special circumstances, you will be allowed to change your appointment. Please visit the VicRoads portal for more information.
There will be a fee payment required which you can pay using your credit card (Only VISA or MASTERCARD). If you prefer, you can make the payment using a Cheque or cash at some centers. Please ask for more information before you proceed with the payment.
3 - Once your appointment is scheduled, you will have to proceed to download the “licence or learner permit application form” from the VicRoads official website. Fill the document using capital and legible letters. It is very important that you DO NOT SIGN the document and fill it up correctly, as you will be asked to sign the form in the presence of one of the VicRoads officials.
4 - Once you have passed your test and everything is done you will be able to get your learners permit card. You will have to take the photo and pay a new license fee. The actual learners card will arrive at your home address within the next 15 days, until you receive it, you will be allowed to drive using the Ls receipt that you will receive on the same day which will be valid for 3 months.
COVID INFO: Please note that all new appointments are suspended at some of the VicRoads Centers due to the COVID19 situation. Applicants whose exams have been cancelled from April up to October will have the priority over new appointments. Please contact the VicRoads customer service before scheduling your appointment.
