Youth unemployment is a significant issue in any part of Adelaide. If they can obtain a driver's licence then it is a crucial step towards building the confidence of young people and helping their future opportunities. The person with valid current license has higher possibilities of getting great job opportunities. Volunteers Driver help young people gain confidence while learning to drive. Many young people in Adelaide don't have access to a car or someone to help them learn how to drive. Our goal is to provide, in partnership with the Community, job agencies, a sustainable community learner driver supervising service that has the capacity to meet the growing needs of disadvantaged communities or youth within South Australia. Volunteer drivers provide assistance to people in need who are identified as disadvantaged by various job agencies using cars provided by Adelaide School of Driving throughout Adelaide area.

​

Volunteer Drivers are usually only required to drive within reasonable business hours. They all have NPC and DCSI clearances. They also may be one the future driving instructors who are trying to gain experience in the industry before stepping in as full time worker. They also have long standing experience in driving various vehicles over past few years. Volunteer drivers are always consulted before new client has been taken onboard. They always have the option of saying no; as we understand that our Volunteers have additional commitments and personal requirements for their personal lives. 

​

Many people find it hard to complete their 75 supervised hours of practice to attain the driver’s licence, especially if they don’t have access to a suitable vehicle or family members or friends who can help. Adelaide School of Driving is always looking for volunteer mentors to help people who are in a need to increase their skills and abilities to not only become a good driver on road but also to gain a responsible driving experience. Adelaide School of Driving will provide cars which are registered, fully insured, with required modification including dash cam to meet the requirements for safety & cover the cost to run the day to day operations.

​

If you are looking to get help please do not hesitate to contact our school and we will endeavour our best to help you in every way.

Refund Policy

1. Refunds for Pre-Booked VORT Tests

Adelaide School of Driving does not offer refunds for pre-booked VORT tests arranged through the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) via an Authorized Examiner (AE) contractor. While we aim to provide the best support possible, DIT’s policy restricts us from offering refunds for cancellations or amendments. Additionally, DIT mandates that any cancellations or substitutions be arranged no less than two full business days in advance, which limits our ability to rebook the slot with another client.

 

In cases where a training package has been partially used, we may offer a partial refund on a case-by-case basis. However, if the client terminates the agreement midway, any partial refund will be calculated based on the full, non-discounted lesson rate. Further, the school will deduct any planning or quotation fees up to $499 AUD from the original payment, with the remaining balance refunded to the same bank account. Please also be aware that refunds may take up to 10-15 business days to process due to payment provider timelines.

 

2. Change of Mind and Online Payments

If you decide to cancel after making an online payment, a processing fee will be applied before calculating your refund. This fee will be the greater of either $149 AUD or 5% of the transaction value. While we would prefer to provide a full refund, these processing fees are non-refundable to us, as they are incurred through our payment processing partners. Our policy aligns with industry standards and reflects the non-recoverable fees associated with these transactions.

 

3. 1-Day VORT Course Conditions for Subsequent VORTs in Package

For clients enrolled in VORT packages that include a subsequent VORT attempt (as advertised), please note that this additional VORT test is offered only after a minimum period of 14 days for L permit holders, or 3 days for those with a Temporary Driving Permit (for overseas license conversions), depending on our schedule availability.

 

4. CBT&A/VORT Courses and Completion Timeframes

Please note that while purchasing a package or paying online secures your enrollment, it does not guarantee completion within a specific timeframe. Following the first lesson, we will assess driving abilities and discuss whether we can meet the requested timeframe. If we determine that the timeframe is unachievable, we will explore alternative options with you or provide a refund as per our refund policies. Adelaide School of Driving is committed to maintaining the Motor Registrar’s standards and adheres to the Rules Governing Authorised Examiners to ensure high-quality training and compliance.
