When will these costs savings be available to Victorians?
These savings will be available to Victorian learners and drivers from mid-August 2022.
How much will new learner drivers save under this package?
The permit issue fee for all new car and motorcycle learner permits will be waived as part of this new funding package, saving aspiring drivers and riders $26.00.
The online Learner Permit Test and Hazard Perception Tests will also be free on the first attempt, with a saving between $19.40 and $25.40.
What cost savings are available to people looking to get their Victorian probationary licence?
Probationary car licences issue fees will be waived for all new Victorian drivers, with a saving of $85.50 for a three-year P2 probationary licence, and $113.90 for four-year P1 probationary licences.
Are there any benefits for Victorian drivers who already have their licence?
Full licence holders (Car, motorcycle and heavy vehicle) will also benefit from the Safe Driver Program that will see drivers who have not incurred demerit points or committed road safety offences in the previous three years, offered a 25% discount off their next licence renewal.
This currently equates to around $21 on a three-year licence (full cost of $85.50) and about $73 on a 10-year licence (full cost of $292.80). The program will be introduced in late 2022.
What is the Safe Driver Discount Program?
Road safety isn't just about penalising it’s also about properly rewarding those who do the right thing. The Safe Driver Discount program rewards drivers who have demonstrated good driving behaviour on our roads.
Are the in-person test and appointment fees also waived?
No. Fees for the Learner Permit Test In-person (LPTI), Hazard Perception Test In-person (HPTI), Drive Test and appointment fees remain in place.
