Getting your licence in the western suburbs

The western suburbs are the hilliest part of Brisbane, and that shapes how people learn here. The steep streets through The Gap, Bardon and Kenmore make for real hill-start practice once you are ready, while Moggill Road and Waterworks Road are the busier arterials that take a bit more time. Flatter, quieter streets around Corinda, Sherwood and Graceville are an easy place to begin.

Getting confident on hills early makes a lasting difference, so our west-side instructors spend proper time on slopes, give ways and the roundabouts near Kenmore and Indooroopilly. You keep the same instructor throughout, pick-up from the University of Queensland or home is included, and a parent can organise the lessons if that suits. For learners moving between areas, driving lessons throughout Brisbane tie it all together.

Fabulous experience driving with Alan and the staff who offer support behind the scenes. He was both patient and calm, and helped me build the confidence I needed in a manual car. Big thanks to Alan, a fantastic driving instructor.

Jody is a great instructor. She gives kind but helpful coaching, is very friendly and lets you demonstrate your skills before helping correct. Very grateful to have an instructor who took the stress out of learning to drive.

Fiona is the best driving instructor I've ever had. She's patient and so kind and gave me all the skills and knowledge I needed to pass my test. I recommend her to everyone learning to drive.
