Your LS
All new drivers must apply for the learners license to the Vic Roads department. To be allowed to complete this process the driver must be 16 years old or older and pass a driving exam.
There are two different exams the driver will be tested on:
- A Knowledge test
- A medical 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, he or she 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 note that in case you are late to your appointment, (for 5 minutes or more), you will be requested to schedule a new appointment and a new fee will have to be paid.
There are special circumstances under which you will be allowed to change your appointment (with at least a 24 hrs notice period), please visit the VicRoads portal for more information.
There will be a fee payment required which you may pay with credit card VISA or MASTERCARD, (You may be allowed to pay with a Cheque or cash at some centers). For more information, please visit the VicRoads website 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: 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.
