Learner Driver Mentor Program 2010 Seed Funding

In 2010 the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources conducted a seed funding grants program to support community organisations to establish, consolidate or expand Learner Driver Mentor Programs (LDMPs).

There were two categories of funding available:

  • Category 1 - Establishment of a new Learner Driver Mentor Program.  Eligible applicants could apply for up to $25,000;
  • Category 2 - Consolidation or expansion of an existing Learner Driver Mentor Program.  Eligible applicants could apply for up to $20,000.

What is LDMP?

A LDMP is a community run program that provides disadvantaged learner drivers with the opportunity to develop their on-road driving experience.

The primary focus of these programs is to help novice drivers who have limited opportunity to access a suitable vehicle and responsible supervisory driver to accrue on-road driving experience.
