Driver Licence Access Program (DLAP)

What is DLAP?

Not everyone gets their licence easily. Some community groups can have difficulty meeting the requirements to get a driver licence. This impacts access to employment, education, training, health care, family, community support and cultural activities.

The Driver Licensing Access Program (DLAP) is a FREE program providing support to people in NSW who face extra challenges in getting a licence.

DLAP is available to:

  • Aboriginal communities
  • refugee and resettlement communities
  • communities who have limited access to transport options or who are geographically disadvantaged
  • vulnerable young people
  • other people experiencing social and economic hardship.
 
What can DLAP do for you?

The program can help you with:

  • getting a learner licence
  • getting on-road driving experience
  • progressing to a provisional licence
  • regaining a licence.

Birrang will give culturally appropriate support to get you on the road, driving safely.

We will help you with:

  • understanding road rules and road safety
  • improving reading, writing and computer skills to prepare you for licence tests
  • meeting licence application requirements (e.g. getting identification documents)
  • communicating with Service NSW and other government organisations
  • accessing roadworthy vehicles
  • helping to manage fines and debts to allow you to get your licence.
