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

If you’ve previously held a full Australian motorcycle licence that has expired for more than 5 years, been cancelled, or you’re applying to transfer a current 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.

For Current Overseas Licence Holders:
Suppose you hold a current (full or provisional) overseas licence from a non-recognised country or have no experienced driver recognition. In that case, you can also apply for a Non-Novice Learner licence.
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. Complete an application and apply for a non-novice motorcycle learner licence with Service Tasmania
  4. Wait at least 28 days after receiving your NNL, then book your Pre-Provisional Test with Stay Upright Training
  5. Complete the Pre-Provisional Test with Stay Upright
  6. Take your Certificate of Competence (if applicable) and your evidence of identity to Service Tasmania
  7. Pay the required licence fee to receive your licence:
    • Previously held a full Australian licence: Full motorcycle licence
    • Current overseas licence holder: Equivalent licence (provisional or full, depending on your overseas licence class)
