New training requirements have been introduced to provide new riders with the most effective level of training and experience for on-road riding. How do the changes affect me? If you're a new rider you'll need to attend and pass a two-day course before you get your learner permit. The course includes off-road training and an on-road assessment, in addition to the existing motorcycle knowledge test. You'll need to contact a training and testing provider to book your course. If you get your motorcycle learner permit on or after 2 April 2016, you'll need to complete an on-road practical skills check (also known as a Check Ride) before you can book in for your motorcycle licence assessment. We recommend booking your Check Ride after you’ve done a bit of riding so you can get the most out of the training. You’ll need to complete it at least one month before you want to go for your licence. Previous interstate or overseas motorcycle licence holders are not required to complete the Check Ride.

How does this affect my current motorcycle learner permit or licence? If you already have a current motorcycle licence, you won't be affected by these changes. If you've booked in for a learner permit or licence assessment on or after 2 April 2016 you'll need to meet these new requirements. Was this page helpful? Take a moment to tell us why.

Check product labels for alcohol contentSome medicines, mouthwashes and food may contain alcohol. You should check labels for alcohol content (sometimes called ethanol).
