Birrang brings Driver Licence Access Program to Balranald and Wilcannia

Birrang Enterprise Development Company is bringing its Driver Licence Access Program (DLAP) to the back country, in the final outreach services for 2024.

The program will be available in Wilcannia on November 7 and Balranald on November 14.

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, and any other people experiencing social and economic hardship.

The program can help you with getting a learner licence, getting on-road driving experience, progressing to a provisional licence or regaining a licence.

“Birrang will give culturally appropriate support to get you on the road, driving safely,” a spokesperson said.

“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 (like getting identification documents), communicating with Service NSW and other government organisations, accessing roadworthy vehicles or helping to manage fines and debts to allow you to get your licence.”

Registration information is below, but spots fill quickly, so act now.
