  Or to max up job opportunities - go for a forklift licence. Always work if you have one of those.

  I second Seagoon, it’s so easy to get your Ls online and it’s free to do the course. That’s what I’m doing; you just set up a VicRoads account if you haven’t already got one and you’ve got a fair bit of time to do it, you can do each component of the course when you’ve got time. Then you do the test, also online I believe, and there’s a small cost when you physically go to the local VicRoads to get your permit. It works most effectively with the current OS or the one previous to it on whatever device you’re using. If this old sausage can do it you can too!

    You can also buy a paper edition learners book cheaply from vicroads offices.

    If you don’t mind me asking, is it an open book and can you do it at home? My mind blanks under stress

      This might help answer your question. If you mean is it open book as in, if you had the book at home while you were doing the online test and you were looking up the answers, I guess there’s nothing to stop you… I’ve heard of people getting family members to help answer the questions while doing it at home, so I guess it’s not impossible lol. I’ve got a proof of age card which I haven’t had any trouble with as a form of ID. As in, I’ve never had anyone refuse it.

  So get your license. It needn’t be expensive. You can study and take the test for free , then ask a friend with a car to help with lessons.

  Volunteering got us this job. It is also great to feel some sense of belonging.
