May 31st, 2025One million hours clocked up in L2P learner driver’s seat

The state government says it is helping disadvantaged young learner drivers get the driving tuition they need to safely get behind the wheel, as Victoria’s L2P program clocks up one million hours.

Since 2009, the L2P Program has given more than 23,000 young drivers across the state the vital skills needed to drive confidently on our roads.

The program matches learner drivers aged 16 to 21 years old who don’t have access to a car or a supervising driver with a fully licenced volunteer mentor and car to help them get the driving experience needed to gain a probationary licence.

The program which has 7,500 volunteers at its heart, not only benefits learner drivers but also gives volunteer mentors an opportunity to connect with their community.

Volunteer mentors are provided with comprehensive training and access to a L2P Program car.

The TAC funded L2P Program supports the Government’s Graduated Licencing System (GLS) which makes it compulsory for learner drivers aged under 21 to obtain a minimum 120 hours of supervised driving practice.
