Learner Licence fees cut in half

The cost of a Queensland learner driver licence will reduce to $75 on 1 March 2023, less than half the previous fee.

The change will offer first time drivers a saving of more than $100.

Learner licences will continue to be valid for 3 years.

On average it takes Queenslanders almost two years to move to their provisional licence, and many even longer, which is why learner licences are provided for this amount of time.

In the last five years, the average age for a Queenslander to obtain a learner licence is 16 years and 3 months and to upgrade to a P1 is 17 years and 11 months.
