Indigenous Driver Licensing Program
The Indigenous Driver Licensing Program gives First Nations peoples in remote Queensland communities the opportunity to get their driver's licence and learn safe road use behaviours.
The Indigenous Driver Licensing team visits remote Queensland communities to help First Nations peoples:
- take the test to get a learner licence
- take the test to get a car or truck licence
- get your driver’s licence back if you’ve had one in the past
- make sure your driver's licence is okay to use for the next year
- get a photo identification card.

How to get involved
The Indigenous Driver Licensing team works closely with community groups on local road safety initiatives to increase licence ownership of First Nations peoples and provide pathways to positive social, economic and wellbeing opportunities that come with licence ownership and safer road use behaviours.
If you'd like to help us make a difference for First Nations peoples through driver licence ownership and safe road behaviour, contact the licensing team for more information on what opportunities we have available.
