License fees for new drivers scrapped

Whittlesea and Hume learners and probationary drivers will benefit from the abolition of license fees and online testing fees.

The state government said L-platers will save up to $51.40 in license and online testing fees, while learner drivers going for their P-plates will save up to $133.30 in licence and online hazard

perception testing fees.

The Safe Driver Discount will also recommence for driver licence renewals generated after October 1, 2022.

Drivers who have not incurred demerit points or committed road safety offences in the previous three years will also receive a 25 per cent discount off their next licence renewal, a saving of up to $73 on a new ten-year drivers license.

“This puts money back into the pockets of Victorian families and makes it easier to unlock all the opportunities that come with a driver license,” Roads and Road Safety Minister Ben Carroll said.

Information about licence and registration services in Victoria or access the online learner permit and hazard perception tests is available online.
