Moreland L2P Learner Driver Program

The Moreland L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program will provide 150 young Learner Drivers (aged 16 - 21 years of age) who have significant barriers such as no access to a vehicle, significant parent/adults or finances with the opportunity to achieve the compulsory 120 hours of supervised driving (as prescribed by the Graduated Licencing System). Volunteer Mentors and young Learner Drivers access a program vehicle for one hour per week, providing the Learner Drivers with practical on road driving experience with a fully licenced Volunteer Mentor who will supervise. (Vehicle and all expenses related to the program are covered by L2P). Both Volunteer Mentors and Learner Drivers are required to undergo a screening process in order to become involved in the program.

The Moreland L2P Program is community based and a partnership between the Transport Accident Commission (the funding body), VicRoads, Moreland City Council, Victoria Police and local community based agencies.

A Steering Committee made up of local community based agency representatives provides L2P regular support and compromises of: Moreland City Council, Inner Northern Local Learning and Employment Network, The Salvation Army – Brunswick Youth Services, Fawkner Police Station, Brunswick Police Station, VicRoads, Merri Community Health Service, The Island,The Salvo’s, Victorian Arabic Social Services (VASS), The Rotary Club of Brunswick and Apprenticeships Plus.

The Moreland L2P Program has also received sponsorships support from local organisations that has enabled the project to purchase two new vehicles for the Learner Drivers and Volunteer Mentors to utilise.
