how much is it to get your ps

Obtaining your P plates (provisional licence) in Australia is a bit like paying your dues to the motoring gods. The cost varies by state but generally includes:

• Learner's permit fee: Around $30-$50
• Driving test fee: Approximately $40-$60
• Provisional licence fee: Usually $50-$100

Throw in some mandatory driver education or hazard perception tests, and you might be looking at a total of roughly $150 to $250 AUD. Prices can be checked on your local transport authority’s website or have a squiz at ServiceCentral for more details. Remember, the real cost is not the cash but the patience dealing with the paperwork.
