🚛 Heavy Vehicle Licensing – HC / MC

We’re currently working with the WA DoT to identify solutions for HC and MC licences in the IOT, as these are not currently available on-island and require travel to WA for assessment.

Given increasing demand for higher towing capacity, we’re particularly keen to support employers and individuals needing HC licensing.
👉 If you’re interested in HC or MC, please register your interest so we can keep you updated on any new pathways or support options.

✅ HR training can be delivered locally and we’re developing a solution for on-island driving instruction, with availability anticipated by 2027. If you’re interested in HR lessons, let us know so we can record your interest and be in touch once delivery is available.
