Overview

Many young people in our community need help to get the driving experience required for their probationary licence. The TAC L2P Program is free for learner drivers who meet the eligibility criteria.

By becoming a volunteer TAC L2P driving mentor, you will be supporting young people to obtain their probationary licence.

If you meet the eligibility requirements, we will work with you to match you with a learner and ensure you are fully supported in the program.

Mentor benefits

By becoming a driver mentor, you will be supporting a learner driver to obtain 120 hours driving experience. As well as supporting a young driver, you will:

– be giving back to the community

– connect with other like-minded mentors while supporting a young person to develop safe driving habits

– have access to a vehicle

– receive comprehensive and ongoing training and support

– have flexibility in choosing hours that are convenient to your life.

We have learner drivers ready to be matched with a volunteer mentor in the Hume region (includes Greater Shepparton, Moira, Strathbogie and Mitchell Shires) and the Latrobe City. Please note that we currently require mentors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
