Vaccination requirements for Drive Tests
You must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (have received two doses of an approved vaccine) or you must provide your own negative COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test result from a sample taken on the day of your driver or rider licence test (a photo of your negative test next to your existing licence on a mobile phone is sufficient).
The Victorian Government advises that getting vaccinated protects you against COVID-19, helps prevent you from getting seriously ill and reduces the spread of COVID-19 to others. In addition to following public health advice, VicRoads must also comply with our own COVIDSafe Plan and employment and occupational health and safety laws. Our vaccination requirements for drive test are designed to help keep workers, customers and other site visitors safe from COVID-19.
Proof of vaccination status
Customers, patron and visitors aged 18 and over must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a medical exemption. See acceptable proof of COVID-19 vaccination [PDF 1.3 kb].
