How do I get my motorcycle learner licence as a non-novice in Tasmania?

If you’ve previously held a motorcycle licence (in Australia or overseas) that has been expired for more than 5 years, cancelled, or you’re applying to transfer an expired overseas motorcycle licence, you may be eligible to apply as a non-novice learner.

Note: If you have never held a full motorcycle licence anywhere in the world, you’ll need to apply as a novice motorcycle learner.

To get your non-novice learner licence in Tasmania, follow these steps:

  1. Be at least 16 years and 6 months old

  2. Study the Tasmanian Road Rules and pass the Motorcycle Road Rules Test at Service Tasmania

  3. Call Stay Upright on 1300 366 640 to discuss your eligibility and get approval to book your training

  4. Complete Day 2 of the Pre-Learner Motorcycle Course with Stay Upright

  5. Wait at least 28 days, then attend a Check Ride with Stay Upright Training

  6. Wait another 28 days, then complete the Pre-Provisional Test with Stay Upright

  7. Take your Certificate of Competence (if applicable) and your evidence of identity to Service Tasmania

  8. Pay the required licence fee to receive your temporary Provisional Licence. Your photo licence will be mailed to you.
