The Practical Driving Assessment (PDA) will determine whether you’re ready for your provisional licence.
To take your PDA you must:
- be at least 17 years old
- have had your learner's permit for at least 6 months
- have recorded at least 50 hours of supervised driving in your DoT issued Learner Log Book, including 5 hours of night time driving (if under 25 years old)
- passed the hazard perception test
- feel confident that you can drive safely without a supervised driver.
Book your PDA
You can book your PDA:
- online via DoTDirect for all metropolitan Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) centres and most regional agency sites. You will need to create a DoTDirect account to book online.
- in person at a regional DoT office or agent. In person bookings cannot be made at metropolitan DVS centres.
