Less costs for learner and probationary drivers

Learner and probationary drivers will not have to pay to obtain their plates under a VicRoads transformation.
The Victorian Government announced the changes on Friday, estimating that learners will save up to $51.40 in learner licencing and online testing, and probationary drivers will save up to $133.30.
Drivers that have not incurred any demerit points or committed road safety offences in the three years up to their license expiring will receive a 25 per cent discount on their licence renewal.
Treasurer Tim Pallas and Minister for Roads and Road Safety Ben Carroll announced the changes, which are only a few upgrades being brought on by a 15-month VicRoads modernisation process that included consultation with various stakeholders.
Aware Super, Australian Retirement Trust and Macquarie Asset Management have been selected to deliver the changes will which also include upgraded customer service systems, better Custom Plates services and user-friendly registration and licensing.
Treasurer Tim Pallas said this is "a win" for all Victorians.
"It means a better experience for drivers and owners of cars, motorbikes, trucks and boats, and continued investment in VicRoads for future generations."
"It's a terrific start for the Victorian Future Fund, which will deliver major benefits for Victorians as we continue to recover strongly from the shocks of the pandemic."
