Pacific Link’s Learner Driver Program is open to tenants of all ages who meet the eligibility criteria. In partnership with the NRMA Safer Driving School, we can provide tenants with 10 free professional driving lessons.
The course teaches essential road safety skills, builds confidence of learner drivers and also provides logbook credits approved by the RMS.
“The professional driving lessons were so helpful to me and the money I saved went towards buying a used car. I have more work opportunities now because I don’t have to rely on buses and trains to get there.”
