Experience requirements
To apply for a heavy vehicle class licence, you must not be a provisional licence holder and have held either a:
- Car (C class) licence for at least 2 years, or
- Light rigid (LR) vehicle licence for at least 1 year, or
- Medium Rigid (MR) vehicle licence for at least 1 year.
Interstate and overseas heavy vehicle licence holders
You can transfer a current interstate driver’s licence for any vehicle class to a WA driver’s licence without having to complete a practical driving assessment.
If you have a current New Zealand driver’s licence for any class (except Multi Combination vehicles), you can apply to transfer it to a WA driver’s licence.
If you have a heavy vehicle licence from another country, your previous driving experience may be recognised when applying for a WA driver’s licence.
Visit a Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) centre, regional DoT office or agent or call 13 11 56 for more information.
