What is the Driver Licensing Access Program?
Bamara delivers the Driver Licensing Access Program (DLAP) across Dubbo and Moree, a free program funded by Transport for NSW, developed for people who face extra challenges getting a driver licence.
It makes getting your driver licence accessible for community groups with difficulty due to employment, education, family, training, or lack of support.
We will teach you how to be a safe, skilled, and legal driver and take pride in knowing we’ll be there for you every step of your driving journey.
If you previously had a licence but lost it, we can help you regain it and resolve any debt.
1) Pre-Learner
We offer support to those who have yet to pass their Learners test. Through this service, we can provide mentoring to guide you through the driver’s handbook to pass the Driver Knowledge Test. We can also offer to cover the fees for these tests.
