About the TAC L2P Program - Banyule

The TAC L2P Program in Banyule is a learner driver mentor program that helps eligible young people accrue the mandatory 120 hours of supervised driving experience required for a probationary licence. The TAC L2P Program Banyule is funded by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and Department of Transport (DoT).

About TAC L2P Volunteer Mentoring

The TAC L2P program benefits learner drivers as well as the broader community. The program requires local community members to become Volunteer Mentors to directly help a young person in need by supervising weekly drive sessions and providing road safety awareness.

All Volunteer Mentors must undertake a screening and interview process and participate in training prior to being eligible to become a Volunteer Mentor.

To be eligible you must:

  • Hold a current full Victorian driver licence
  • Commit to 2 hours per week for a minimum of 12 months
  • Successfully obtain/pass a Volunteer Working with Children Check, CrimCheck and Driver History Check (all costs are covered by the program)
  • Successfully participate in a full training program (delivered by Department of Transport)

A training program for Volunteer Mentors is provided to ensure that they are well prepared and understand what their role entails. To find out more about the TAC L2P Program, a Volunteer Mentor Brochure can be viewed here.
