VicRoads Licensing Appointment Fees
There are 3 tests you need to pass before getting your driving licence.
These tests need to be booked via the VicRoads website. Each of these tests needs to be successfully passed in order to have your own VicRoads Driver’s Licence.
1- The Learner Permit Test Online
The Learner Permit Test Online is an interactive 4-6 hour online course that teaches you about the road rules in Victoria and how to develop safe driving skills. At the end of the course, you’ll be given a test of what you have learned. Once you have passed the Learner Permit Test Online, you’ll be able to apply for your learner permit.
You can enrol in the course from the age of 15 years and 11 months. However, you will only be issued with a learner permit when you’re 16 years of age or older.
2-The Hazard Perception Test
The Hazard Perception Test is a computer-based test that focuses on scenarios where probationary drivers are more likely to be involved in a crash. The test assesses your ability to recognise and respond to potential hazards in the safest way possible.
The Hazard Perception Test can be taken by novice drivers, those who need to convert to a probationary licence and those who will convert to a full licence.
The Hazard Perception Test needs to be completed before you can take the Drive Test.
To take the Hazard Perception Test you must hold a current Victorian car learner permit and be at least 17 years and 11 months of age. You can now choose to take the test online or in-person.
3-Drive test
Before you take your drive test, be sure to read all the information about what’s involved in the Drive test for a Victorian driver’s licence(External link), on Transport Victoria’s website.
Leave a few days between your Hazard perception test and the drive test in case you need more than one attempt at the Hazard perception test. You need to take your drive test within 12 months of completing your Hazard perception test.
You can book your drive test and pay the appointment fee online(External link) or by calling 13 11 71 and pay with Visa or Mastercard or visit a VicRoads Customer Service Centre. If you’re coming into a customer service centre you can pay by Visa, Mastercard, cheque, EFTPOS or cash. Note that both Visa and Mastercard charge a merchant fee.
