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 the driver will be tested on:
- A Knowledge test
- A medical eyesight test
1 - First of all, the driver must be ready and study for the knowledge driving test. The exam consists of 32 questions and the pass score is 78%, (The driver will have to answer at least 25 questions right to pass.)
The exam is based on the handbook “Road to Solo Driving” which is available for download from the official VicRoads website. To facilitate comprehension, there are different languages available.
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.
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 you have made your appointment, you will have to download the “licence or learner permit application form” from the VicRoads official website and fill it up in capital letter. It is very important that you fill up the form correctly and do not sign it, as you will be asked to sign the form 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: Due to the COVID19 situation, please note that all new appointments are suspended at some of the VicRoads Centers. Applicants whose exams have been cancelled from April until October will have priority over new appointments. Please contact the VicRoads customer service before scheduling your appointment.
