    How to Get Your Learner's Licence in Queensland

    By Around About Driving School — Qualified Driving Instructors, Caboolture QLD

    Your Step-by-Step Guide to Getting a Queensland Learner Licence

    Getting your learner's licence is one of the most exciting milestones in a young person's life. As driving instructors in Caboolture who work with brand-new learners every week, we know the process inside and out. Here is exactly what you need to do.

    Step 1: Be at Least 16 Years Old

    You must be at least 16 years of age to apply for a learner licence in Queensland. There is no upper age limit — it is never too late to learn to drive.

    Step 2: Study the Queensland Road Rules

    The Queensland Government provides a free resource called "Your Keys to Driving in Queensland" that covers all the road rules you need to know. You can access this and other study materials through the Department of Transport and Main Roads website. Take your time with this — a solid understanding of the rules makes your practical driving much easier later.

    Step 3: Take Free Online Practice Tests

    Before sitting the real test, take the free online practice tests available on the Queensland Government website. These mirror the format and difficulty of the actual test and help you identify weak areas to study further.

    Step 4: Sit the Written Road Rules Test

    The written test is taken at a Queensland Transport and Main Roads Customer Service Centre. The nearest centre for most of our students is the Caboolture Customer Service Centre. You can also take it at other centres across the Moreton Bay region.

    What to Bring on the Day

    1. A completed, unsigned Application for a Queensland Driver Licence form (F3000) — available at the centre
    2. Proof of identity — birth certificate, passport, or school ID card
    3. Payment for the written test fee and learner licence fee (check the Queensland Government website for current fees, as these are updated periodically)

    What the Written Test Involves

    The test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions split into two sections:

    • Give-way rules — 10 questions (you need at least 9 correct)
    • General road rules — 20 questions (you need at least 18 correct)

    If you do not pass, you can retake the test once per day. The test fee applies each time, so proper study beforehand saves you money.

    After You Get Your Learner Licence

    Once you have your L plates, you can start driving on public roads under the supervision of a person who holds an open Australian licence. You will need to:

    • Hold your learner licence for at least 12 months
    • Complete 100 hours of supervised driving, including at least 10 hours at night
    • Each hour with a qualified driving instructor counts as three logbook hours (up to 10 professional hours)

    Once you have met all requirements, you can book your practical driving test.
