Helmet exemption

Everyone who rides a motorcycle or bicycle is required by law to wear an approved helmet. It can be very unsafe to not wear a helmet while riding.

We will not grant a helmet exemption for a motorcycle.

If you wish to apply for an exemption from wearing a bicycle helmet you will need to lodge a letter of application by:

visiting Service Tasmania

GPO 536 Hobart TAS 7001
