Volunteer Driver Support
Help a Young Person Gain Independence and Confidence
We are seeking a Driver Support Volunteer to support young people in achieving their driver's licence and greater independence.

A customised program vehicle is provided, allowing participants to gain valuable driving experience in a safe and supportive environment.
As a Driver Support, you will play an important role in helping young people develop practical driving skills, road confidence, and the knowledge needed to become safe and responsible drivers.
