The State Government has announced an extra 1300 practical driving assessments will be made available across December and January, to cater for high demand across the summer period.
The additional practical driving assessment (PDA) bookings will be released weekly, and be available on weekends at the Joondalup, Midland, Kelmscott and Rockingham Driver and Vehicle Services centres until January 29, 2023.
Candidates can book a PDA between 7:55am and 3:40pm on Saturdays and Sundays at Joondalup, Midland and Rockingham and between 8:00am and 2:45pm at Kelmscott.
"We know there is a high demand for practical driving assessments over the December and January period and releasing these additional weekend bookings provides flexibility for our PDA candidates," Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said.
"Having access to a driver's licence opens the door to more work and training opportunities, so we want to be looking at ways we can cater for this busy period as more people look to undertake their PDAs."
PDAs can be booked or cancelled online 24/7 using the Department of Transport website.
Assessments will not be available on the Christmas (24 and 25 December 2022) and New Year's (31 December 2022 and 01 January 2023) weekends.
