Indigenous Driver Licensing Program
The Indigenous Driver Licensing Program aims to reduce unlicensed driving and the consequential legal, social and actual costs to Indigenous people, their families and communities.
The program has a dedicated mobile driver licensing unit based in Cairns that takes the Department of Transport and Main Roads licence testing service out into communities. This is supported by a community information program to make learning about road rules and responsible driving more accessible to new drivers. The program works in collaboration with communities to address issues of road safety and licensing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The Indigenous Driver Licensing Program newsletter, published twice annually, includes information about the program's operations and recent achievements.
