Who can take driving lessons?

Driving lessons are available to anyone with a valid learner’s permit or provisional licence. They are beneficial for new drivers learning to navigate the road, individuals who lack confidence behind the wheel or those who need to refresh their skills. Professional lessons also help international licence holders understand Australian road rules and prepare for licence conversion tests.
What can I expect during a driving lesson?

A driving lesson typically includes practical training in various traffic conditions, covering essential skills such as steering, braking, lane changes and parking. Instructors also teach road rules, hazard awareness and safe driving techniques. Depending on your experience, lessons may begin in low-traffic areas before progressing to complex situations like roundabouts, highways and intersections.
How many driving lessons do I need?

The number of lessons required varies based on a driver’s experience, learning ability and confidence level. Some learners may need only a few lessons to refine their skills before a driving test, while others benefit from a structured program with multiple sessions. In the Northern Territory, completing supervised driving hours is important for new drivers, and professional lessons can count towards these requirements.
