In September 2025, the Department of Infrastructure provided fact-checking assistance to the Office of the Minister for Infrastructure regarding learner driver safety messaging. Department officials confirmed key points about the regulatory framework for driving instructors, which the Minister's office intended to communicate to state and territory transport counterparts. The correspondence confirms that licensing systems, driving instructor regulation, accreditation, and compliance processes are the responsibility of state and territory governments, with each jurisdiction setting its own rules. The Commonwealth Government does not directly regulate driving instructors. The exchange involved Department staff reviewing and verifying language for correspondence the Minister planned to send to state government counterparts on this topic.
