Start with a full, unrestricted Australian car licence and a clean record—students prefer their mentors less “Fast & Furious” and more “calm and cluey.”
Complete a nationally recognised Certificate IV in motor vehicle driver training (car specialisation), covering teaching methods, road rules and risk management.
Apply for instructor accreditation with your state authority (e.g., Transport for NSW, VicRoads/Department of Transport, QLD TMR), including police and Working with Children checks and, if required, a medical.
You’ll need a roadworthy car with dual controls, the right insurance, and admin habits sharp enough to make a tax agent smile.
Sort the business bits—ABN, bookings and receipts—and consider starting under an established school to build experience.
Details and fees vary by state, so check the official requirements before you order those magnetic door signs.
