The End to End Driver Training program is designed to support participants in their journey to achieving their full licence, from end to end.
An Investing In Our Youth initiative, this program supports participants all the way through the process of obtaining their full drivers licence, including;
- pre-driver education,
- obtaining the learners permit,
- building driving experience through formal driving lessons and the RYDE program,
- sit and pass the Hazard Perception Test (HPT)
- sit and pass Practical Driving Assessment (PDA) to achieve their provisional driver’s license.
Who is the program for?
In regional area of Western Australia people may have difficulty accessing Department of Transport services as well as driving supervisors, instructors, and safe vehicles to get their driver’s license.

The End to End Driving Program helps people with circumstances that prevent them from obtaining their driver’s license by:
- improving access to vehicles, driving instructors and supervisors to help people learn to drive
- helping people overcome issues and costs that may prevent them from obtaining their licence

- increasing access to training, education and employment opportunities.
The End to End Driving Program is funded by support from the Department of Transport Driving Access and Equity Program and Department of Justice.
