How does it work?
Our Program matches eligible learners with a vehicle and fully licensed volunteer mentor driver to help learners gain driving experience.

Before being matched with a volunteer mentor and throughout the course of their L2P driving journey, participating learners have access to several free driving lessons with a professional driving instructor. This helps learners build their skills through the four stages of the Graduated Licensing System before getting on the road with a volunteer mentor.

• Stage 1 – Basic car control
• Stage 2 – Quiet streets
• Stage 3 – Complex traffic
• Stage 4 – Rehearsing solo

With a specific focus on reducing Victoria’s road toll, the TAC L2P program focuses on helping young people become safe, confident drivers. Additionally, it also provides an opportunity to interact with positive adult role models, gain confidence and move towards social independence. Volunteer mentors also have opportunities to connect with other mentors within their geographical region

We have a full training program to ensure you’re well prepared to mentor a learner driver and understand your role as a supervising driver. Learners participating in the program also have access to free driving lessons with a professional instructor to build their skills before getting on the road with a volunteer mentor.

As an organisation committed to child safety, Djerriwarrh also provides the training, policies and procedures to maintain a Child Safe working environment for the benefit of both young people and volunteers.
