Appointment fee waiver

As part of our service recovery and resumption of services in metropolitan Melbourne, the Victorian Government will waive the $19 appointment fee as a good will gesture for anyone that has been impacted with the suspension of key services.

This will mean all customers that have already taken, are due to take, or are waiting to take, a learners, hazard perception and practical drive test, during the period of 25-March 2020 – 5 April 2021 will be eligible to have their appointment fees waived or refunded. We will contact all customers who are eligible for an appointment fee refund. Please do not call us for your refund.
