Driver Mentors Needed!

Whittlesea community members who hold a full driving license are invited to volunteer as driving mentors. Full VicRoads mentor training is provided. A car and petrol for all supervised driving sessions is also provided as part of the program. For further information, contact Edmond.

Whittlesea L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program

What is L2P?

Since July 2007, a key element of the new Victorian Licensing System requires that all learner drivers aged under 21 years log a minimum of 120 hours of supervised driving before they can sit their probationary driving test. The  L2P Program is a Victorian Government initiative that aims to help young learner drivers who may have considerable difficulty in achieving this, unless a community-based program is available.

The Whittlesea L2P

The Whittlesea L2P is a community-based partnership project involving VicRoads, the City of Whittlesea Council and Whittlesea Community Connections. Community members are also involved as steering group members  and as volunteer driver mentors.

Who is Eligible?

Young people aged between 16-21 years who:

  • Hold a learner permit
  • Live, study, work or are involved in other activities in the City of Whittlesea
  • Have difficulty accessing a superviser to achieve 120 hours of driving experience
  • Has no access to a car
How can I get more information or refer a young person into the program?
