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, 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.
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 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 - 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: 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.
