The L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program is an exciting free program available to 16 - 20 year olds ,living in the Apollo Bay who are facing significant barriers in gaining the 120 hours of driving experience needed to take the probationary licence test.

Young people are matched with fully licensed volunteer mentors and have access to use a sponsored vehi-cle to gain supervised driving experience. L2P is free for eligible young people and is funded by the Victorian Government Transport Accident Commission and local community businesses, organisations and sporting clubs who sponsor the program.

Apollo Bay program L2P is currently seeking volunteers to supervise learner drivers. Here is your opportunity to contribute to a safer community by men-toring local young people who really need your support.
