From 1 July 2024, all licence fees will be frozen at their current level for 1 year, to ease cost of living pressures for Queenslanders. Usually these fees increase each year, which means the Learner licence will continue to be available at the previously reduced cost of $75 and be valid for 3 years.
On average, it takes Queenslanders almost 2 years to move to their provisional licence and many even longer, which is why learner licences are provided for this amount of time.
In the last 5 years, the average age for a Queenslander to obtain a learner licence is 16 years and 3 months and to upgrade to a P1 is 17 years and 11 months.
