A new road safety program funded by the Palaszczuk government and Former Origin Greats will allow more Indigenous high school students to gain their provisional driver’s licence.
The program will be conducted at select schools across Queensland for senior Indigenous students who meet the academic criteria with high attendance and no suspension record.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said he is "confident this funding boost will help to motivate students to improve their education outcomes, as well as introducing employment opportunities enabled by having a driver's licence."
