Learner Driver Program
Learner Driver Program
The Learner Driver Program supports tenants of all ages to build confidence and essential road skills through professional driving lessons.
Eligible tenants can access a package of free lessons with a qualified driving instructor, helping them gain independence and access more opportunities for work, study and daily life.
“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.”
