Learn to Drive

TOP GEAR is a learn to drive program designed for humanitarian entrants. Trained volunteers supervise participant learner drivers to assist them in gaining their provisional drivers licence. A minimum of 50 hours driving experience is required to obtain a driver’s license. Roads in Australia are vastly different from back home. The challenge of driving on a different side of the road often becomes challenging for learner drivers. Many students are required to spend additional hours with our volunteers on the TOP GEAR program.

TOP GEAR is a unique partnership between private companies, community organisations and local, state and federal governments.

Our TOP GEAR partners include;

  • Department of Immigration and Citizenship
  • Department of Infrastructure Energy and Resources
  • Tasmanian Police
  • STEPS Employment and Training Solutions
  • Workskills Employment Solutions
  • VIP Driving School
