Provisional rider's licence

How do I get my provisional rider's licence?

Pay the Provisional Course and Motorcycle Operator Skill Test (M.O.S.T) enrolment fees at your nearest registry.

• If you have Visa™, BankCard™ or MasterCard™ you may pay the fee through the RTA Customer Call Centre on 132 213.
• Contact the RTA Customer Call Centre on 132 213, visit a motor registry or mytests on this website to book a course. The booking officer will ask you to quote the receipt number of your enrolment fee.

If you do not live in a 'declared area', contact your local motor registry or the RTA Contact Centre to arrange a riding test.

Changing bookings

Bookings can be changed provided two working days' notice is given to the RTA Rider Training Booking Office.

No attempt should be made to change bookings with the training provider, as all bookings have to be authorised by the RTA.

Arrival times

Plan to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled course start time. Applicants who arrive after the course has started WILL NOT be allowed to join the course.

Courses must start on time. To include those who arrive late would require the instructor to restart the course, thereby disrupting and inconveniencing other participants.

Applicants who arrive late forfeit their course fees and will be required to repay and re-book before re-attending training.

What do I bring with me on the day?

• The receipt issued by the registry or the one received in the post if you paid by credit card over the telephone
• Your current Learner Rider's licence
• Your motorcycle in a registered and roadworthy condition with current registration label and "L" plates affixed. (You will not be allowed to undergo training or testing on a motorcycle that is not roadworthy and registered).

What do I wear on the day?

• Wear jeans, leather or other type of sturdy long pants
• Boots or sturdy shoes
• Long sleeved leather, denim jacket or other type of sturdy long sleeved jacket
• Gloves
• Bring a hat and sunglasses
• Approved helmet. (The Australian Standards AS1698 sticker must be displayed upon the helmet).

After the course

Once you have successfully completed the course, you will be issued with a Certificate of Competence. The Certificate of Competence is valid for 3 months from the date of issue.

Go to the nearest motor registry and:

• take your Certificate of Competence
• take your Learner's Licence
• pay the licence fee
