Health and safety for you and examiners
Face masks
As per current Queensland Health advice, face masks should be used where social distancing can't be maintained. We encourage you to bring and use a face mask during your driving test, particularly if you live or take your driving test in a Queensland COVID-19 restricted area.
As health and safety remains the priority, several measures are in place to protect you and driving examiners, including:
- mandatory screening for test participants
- vehicle cleaning requirements
- reinforcement of general health and hygiene measures.
You must read and comply with the health and safety requirements for your driving test.
