We acknowledge that every person has the right to be treated with respect and be safe and protected from harm.
Parents, caregivers and young people are encouraged to learn more about their rights and responsibilities while using our services.
Cancellation policies
We understand that there will be a need to cancel or alter driving appointments from time to time.
Please make all driving lesson cancellations and alterations by Calling the Drive Smart Office.
Please give us as much notice as possible. 48 or even 24 hours notice will allow us to contact other clients and offer them the vacated time.

- Lessons cancelled less than 24 hours notice or not attended – 90% of scheduled fee applies.
Cancellation fees are payable prior to the commencement of any further lessons and are inclusive of GST where applicable.

Disclaimers
All drivers are responsible for their own actions and safety

No assurances are implied or given that drivers will remain collision free upon completion of any driver training or assessment program.
We also remind every client that it is the responsibility of all drivers to notify Department of Transport regarding any changes or medical concerns that may effect driving ability.
