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.
You will be tested in the following exams:
- A Knowledge test
- An eyesight test
1 - First of all, you must be ready and study for the knowledge driving test. This exam contains 32 questions and the pass score is 78%, so you will have to answer at least 25 questions right to pass.
The exam is based on the “Road to Solo Driving handbook” which you may download from the official VicRoads website. There are different languages available for you to facilitate comprehension.
2 - Once you feel ready to take the official exam, you will have 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.
Please take into consideration that in case you are late to your appointment, (more than 5 minutes late), you will be asked to schedule a new appointment and a new fee will have to be paid. Under special circumstances, you will be allowed to change your appointment (at least with 24 hrs notice period), 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 you have made your appointment, download the “licence or learner permit application form” from the VicRoads website and complete it using capital letters. It is very important that you fill up the form correctly and do not sign it, as it must be signed in the presence of one of the VicRoads officials.
4 - You will be able to get your learner's permit card once you have passed the test and all the process is finished. You will have to take the photo and pay for your new license. The actual learners card will arrive at your home address in the next 15 days, until then, you will be allowed to drive using the Ls receipt that you will receive on the same day (This will be valid for 3 months).
COVID INFO: Note that due to the COVID19, all new appointments are suspended at some of the VicRoads Centers. Those applicants whose exams have been cancelled since April until October will have priority over new appointments.
