Good to know

About the driving test

Before you can book

Each state and territory sets its own requirements, such as a minimum age, time on your learner licence, log book hours and a hazard perception test.

During the test

The testing officer assesses how you control the car, spot and respond to hazards, make decisions and share the road. They won’t coach you during the test.

If you don’t pass

You usually get feedback on what to improve. There may be a waiting period before you can take the test again.

The car you use

The car must be registered, roadworthy and meet the test requirements. With the Driving Test Package, you sit the test in your instructor’s car.

Each state and territory runs its own driving test. Check the requirements with your licensing authority before you book.

FAQs

Test preparation: FAQs

When should I start test preparation lessons?

Book them in the weeks before your test, once you can drive confidently without guidance. That leaves time to work on anything your instructor picks up.

What is a mock test?

Your instructor directs you as a testing officer would, without coaching, then goes through what went well and what would cost you marks.

What do I need before I can book my driving test?

It depends on your state or territory. Common requirements include a minimum age, a minimum time on your learner licence, completed log book hours and a pass in the hazard perception test. Your licensing authority lists the exact rules.

What happens if I fail my driving test?

You usually get feedback from the testing officer, and there may be a waiting period before you can retest. Share the feedback with your instructor so your next lessons focus on it.

Can I use my instructor’s car for the test?

Yes. The Driving Test Package includes pick-up 1 hour before your test, a 45-minute warm-up and your instructor’s car for the test.
