Your LS
All new drivers must apply for the learners license to the Vic Roads department. To proceed with this, you 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, 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.

There will be a fee payment required which you may pay with credit card VISA or MASTERCARD, or even with Cheque or cash at some centers. Please ask for more information 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.

4 - Once the driver has passed the test and everything is successful, he or she will be able to get the learners permit card. A photo and the payment of a fee will be demanded by the VicRoads authority. The actual learners card will arrive at the driver’s home address within a period of 15 days, until then, the driver will be allowed to drive using the Ls receipt that its received on the same day (This receipt 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.
