Driver Licence Access Program (DLAP)

What is DLAP?

Not everyone gets their licence easily. Some community groups can have difficulty meeting the requirements to get a driver licence. This impacts access to employment, education, training, health care, family, community support and cultural activities.

The Driver Licensing Access Program (DLAP) is a FREE program providing support to people in NSW who face extra challenges in getting a licence.

DLAP is available to:

  • Aboriginal communities
  • refugee and resettlement communities
  • communities who have limited access to transport options or who are geographically disadvantaged
  • vulnerable young people
  • other people experiencing social and economic hardship.
 
What can DLAP do for you?

The program can help you with:

  • getting a learner licence
  • getting on-road driving experience
  • progressing to a provisional licence
  • regaining a licence.

Birrang will give culturally appropriate support to get you on the road, driving safely.

We will help you with:

  • understanding road rules and road safety
  • improving reading, writing and computer skills to prepare you for licence tests
  • meeting licence application requirements (e.g. getting identification documents)
  • communicating with Service NSW and other government organisations
  • accessing roadworthy vehicles
  • helping to manage fines and debts to allow you to get your licence.

We provide access to computers, allowing you to familiarise yourself with the Learner Driver Knowledge Test format and offering practice tests to track your progress.

3.      Test Booking Support: Once you consistently pass practice tests, we assist you in booking your learner driver test at your local Roads and Maritime Service Centre.

We're dedicated to breaking down barriers to employment and financial freedom.

Our Response to Changing Licensing Requirements:

With the introduction of the Graduated Licensing Scheme (GLS), Birrang remains committed to providing accessible solutions for disadvantaged individuals.
