Many people face barriers and challenges when it comes to obtaining a driver’s licence. Not having a licence can be a major setback in a young person’s life, making it harder to find employment and holding them back from educational and social opportunities. The Driving Change program aims to help people to overcome these barriers, achieve their licensing goals and open up new opportunities in their lives.
"It’s not just a license to drive, it’s a license to live."
- Mick Gooda, Royal Commissioner for the Royal Commission into the Child Protection and Youth Detention Systems of the Northern Territory
