24.01.2022 Well this is good news. Driving lessons are allowed under the current lockdown restrictions for Melbourne. Unfortunately if you were booked in for your licence you will have to wait a bit longer. We want everyone to stay safe, so we will continue to review how this effects our L2P program. At the moment L2P is paused again. Keep checking in to see how this all unfolds. Stay well everyone. We will get through this together.

24.01.2022 Our very best wishes for a safe & happy new year.

23.01.2022 Make sure you’ve seen our COVID safety video on our HWLLEN website. This will ensure you are well placed to resume driving ASAP. Www.HWLLEN.com.au/L2P

22.01.2022 TAC L2P Suspension Statement August 2020 Hume Whittlesea Local Learning & Employment Network’s (HWLLEN’s) priority remains the health and wellbeing of the community, including its staff and volunteers. In response to Federal and State Government advice, and in alignment with the Hume City Council Pandemic Plan, the TAC L2P Program has been suspended again to help prevent the spread of COVID19 in our community and amongst our staff and volunteers. In June 2020, we were wor...king towards recommencing the TAC L2P program, in accordance with the ‘Roadmap to a COVID Safe Australia’ and Stage 1 and Stage 2 restrictions. However, due to the second wave of COVID19 in Melbourne, Road Safety Victoria requires that all TAC L2P programs, and their associated activities of driving lessons, driving practice and mentor training be suspended. We know that these constant changes are difficult and frustrating for everyone involved with the program, however our top priority remains on the health and safety of all participants. The HWLLEN and Hume City Council will continue to act on the advice of the Chief Health Officer, taking a harm minimisation approach to COVID-19. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Volunteer Mentors, our learners and our Driving Instructors for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. Please know that we are working behind the scenes to get the TAC L2P program back up and running as soon as it is safe to do so. We are currently well placed to recommence the program quickly once the current health restrictions are lifted. If you are currently on the TAC L2P program waiting list, you will not lose your place on this list. We also want to remind you that both Rachael and Rosie continue to share the TAC L2P Coordinator role. You can reach them as follows: Rachael: 0412 002 320 Rosie: 0407 455 201 Email: [email protected] should you have any questions. Please reach out if you have any questions.

06.01.2022 Repost #inthepassengerseat Help your students avoid problems when purchasing a second-hand vehicle privately by letting them know about the Australian Government $2 PPSR used car check. The check can let them know if the vehicle they are considering buying is safe from possible repossession. It can tell them if the vehicle is free from debt or if it has been reported as written-off or stolen and if part of the faulty Takata airbag recall. ...
