Helping Learner Drivers Become Safe Drivers Workshop (February 2025)

Join Transport for NSW for a great workshop on how you can best supervise a learner driver in their on-road driving experience.

Is supervising your child or younger sibling during their Learner Driver hours making you feel a bit nervous? You're not alone! That’s why Penrith Council and Transport for NSW have partnered to offer a free online workshop designed to equip you with the best tools and tips for Learner Driver supervision.

This workshop will cover essential topics, including:

• How to effectively supervise learner drivers and keep them safe on the road.
• Completing the Learner Driver Logbook with ease and accuracy.
• Your vital role in supporting your child or young adult as they learn to drive.
• Understanding Licence conditions for both Learners and Provisional Licence holders.
• How to complete the required 120 hours of supervised driving, including a minimum of 20 hours of night driving.
• Guidance on holding L plates for at least one year before progressing to a Provisional (P1) Licence.
• Plus, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and receive expert advice from a Road Safety specialist.

This workshop is perfect for anyone supervising a person under 25 who is either working towards their Learner Driver's Licence or currently logging their hours. Whether you’re a parent, older sibling, or any adult with a full Australian Licence, this session is for you.

If you are supervising a learner driver, we encourage you to sit the free online practice learner driver knowledge test, which you can find at https://driverpracticetest.transport.nsw.gov.au/pages/practice-tests?init=true

The workshop will be conducted via Microsoft Teams, accessible through PC, laptop, or mobile phone, with an internet connection required.
