Purpose and key proposed reforms

This reform will help us address problems across the driver instruction sector and improve existing and future training materials.

The purpose of the driver training reform is to:

  • Improve the skills of drivers

  • Reduce costs for learner drivers

  • Improve accessibility and inclusion to support the needs of the diverse community

  • Address corruption and sexually predatory behaviour in the driver training sector

We’ve been working on several proposals to assist this reform. Key proposed reforms include:

  • Improved driver licensing training manuals for Qualified Supervised Drivers and Learner drivers to provide adequate and accessible driver training and road safety education to meet South Australian standards

  • Improved instruction manuals for Motor Driver Instructors (MDIs) to promote consistent approaches to driver training

  • Driver examination for the issue of a class C (car) licence to be undertaken by Government employees rather than private operators

  • Regulation of MDIs for all licence classes be strengthened through the introduction of a suite of reforms including higher standards to enter the industry, mandatory cameras in driver training cars, a Code of Practice and greater sanctioning authority
