What is the TAC L2P program?
The TAC L2P program is a free community based, volunteer program helping young people learn to drive.
The program helps disadvantaged learner drivers gain the 120 driving hours required to get a probationary licence.
Funding for the program is from the:
- Transport Accident Commission (TAC)
- Department of Transport.
We jointly coordinate and fund the the Manningham Whitehorse L2P program with Whitehorse City Council and with support from the Victorian government.
How the program works
The program matches learner drivers between the ages of 16 and 21 years, who do not have access to a supervising driver or practice vehicle, with a volunteer, fully licensed driver and vehicle.
As part of the program, learners will also have up to seven free driving lessons with a professional driving instructor.
The aim of the program is to help learners become safe and confident drivers. It’s also an opportunity for young people to interact with positive adult role models and gain social independence.

- hold a current learner permit
- have limited or no access to a vehicle or a supervising driver
