On the 15th May 2010, the AAA Youth Programme coordinator organised a workshop entitled ‘Become a good WA motorist’ to new migrants 18 to 25 years old in the lesser hall of Australian Asia House. The purpose of this workshop was to address the importance of having a WA Driver’s Licence and the process of obtaining it.
More than 30 people from Thai, Burundi, Congo, Rwanda and Kenya communities attended the workshop. Mr Bruce Moore, Manager, Business Centres, Frontline Customer Service of the Department of Transport conducted the workshop with support of his team members.

The guest speakers explained and gave clarification in regard to the authorisation to drive in Western Australia for people who hold Overseas Driver’s Licence. Furthermore, they explained the process of obtaining a Learner’s Permit – how to prepare for computer based driving assessment and the practical driving assessment. During the workshop, participants asked many questions and the speakers responded in friendliest manner. We received positive feedbacks from participants on the survey forms.
