In special circumstances you may be exempt from gaining the minimum driving experience requirements for a specific class of driver’s licence.
Class HC
Applicants for a class HC licence who do not meet the minimum driving experience requirements (i.e have not held a class MR or HR for at least one year) may undertake an approved training in lieu of experience (T.I.L.E) course, provided they have held a class C driver’s licence for at least two years.
Restricted licences and other exemptions
Restricted licences may also be issued to cover the use of certain vehicles such as mobile machinery, plant and equipment which is only used within the confines of a factory, depot or industrial complex and has an unladen mass or GVM that exceeds the class of licence held by the person (provided the person has been appropriately trained in the operation of the vehicle).
Applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
