In Melbourne (that’s Victoria, not Florida), learner permits are handled by VicRoads and the minimum age is 16.
You’ll need to pass a road-rules knowledge test (online or at a centre), do an eyesight check, show ID, and pay the fee—thrilling stuff, I know.
Once you’ve got it, slap those L plates front and rear, keep BAC at 0.00, ditch the phone, and always drive with a fully licensed supervising driver in the passenger seat.
If you’re under 21, start logging practice hours so you’re ready for the hazard and drive tests down the track.
Check VicRoads for current fees, booking steps, and any rule tweaks—because nothing beats a bit of light bedtime legislation.
