For many young people, a driver’s licence isn’t just about getting from A to B.

It’s about independence, confidence and access to work.

We are seeking Driver-Mentors to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner drivers to get on the road and get job-ready at the same time.

This role is about patience, encouragement, cultural safety and showing up consistently.

About the Role
This innovative program matches driver-mentors with Indigenous learner drivers to:

• Build logbook hours (120 required in NSW & VIC)
• Drive confidently in real road and weather conditions
• Grow self-belief, responsibility, and readiness for work

You’ll mentor one-on-one, building trusting relationships that support young people well beyond the driver’s seat.

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Is calm, patient and people-focused
• Understands the power of mentoring and role modelling
• Can build trust with young people and families
• Is comfortable working independently and on the road
• Wants to contribute to meaningful community outcomes
