QLD Practical Driving Test Locations
In Queensland, practical driving tests aren’t limited to TMR transport service centres alone. They're carried out by a mix of TMR Customer Service Centres, Designated Police or TMR Officer Test Centres, and selected police stations/QGAP offices in rural regions.
Who Conducts the Practical Test?
TMR Customer Service Centres
These centres handle light vehicle driving tests and bookings. Major locations include:
Caboolture
Greenslopes
Logan
Maroochydore
Southport
Zillmere
Police or TMR Officer Test Centres (TMCs)
Often located near regional or remote centres, these locations offer practical driving tests and full licensing services, and may be co-located with:
Police Stations (e.g. Anakie, Aurukun, Camooweal)
QGAP offices (e.g. Ayr, Biloela, Boulia, Cloncurry)
How It Works
TMR-Carried Centres: Available to all learner drivers, with weekend tests on Saturdays at selected venues.
Police & QGAP Locations: Serving regional, rural, or remote communities. Tests here match TMR standards but are delivered locally by police-appointed officers .
Why It Matters for Learner Drivers
Convenience - You can choose a nearby centre for availability or locality.
Route Familiarity - Testing close to your home enables practice on the actual roads you'll be assessed on.
Common Road Features in QLD
From the quiet suburban streets to the fast-moving highways near regional centres... here’s what you’re likely to encounter on a typical QLD test route:
Expressway Entry & Highway Merges
Routes near centres like Caboolture or Southport may require you to join high-speed roads (70–100 km/h). Examiners will be assessing your ability to:
Match road speed before merging
Signal early and check mirrors/blind spots
Our tip: Examiners confirm “a high-speed merge is often tested in a Queensland driving test”.
Roundabouts (Single & Multi-Lane)
Found on routes within or near suburban hubs. You’ll need to:
Choose the correct lane early
Signal when exiting
Navigate multi-lane roundabouts with confidence
Lane Changes
You’ll be tested on:
Safe mirror and blind spot checks
Smooth and deliberate lane changes
Our tip: Safe merging and lane discipline are often cited as areas where mistakes happen.
Stop Signs & Uncontrolled Intersections
Especially near residential areas or local shopping strips, you’ll face:
Give-way lines at cross-roads
4-way stops requiring full stops and order of right-of-way
Our tip: Your decision-making here shows your grasp of intersection rules.
Parking Manoeuvres in Suburban Streets
Most tests include parking exercises in low-traffic areas:
Reverse parallel or angle parking
Three-point turns
Feedback from instructors confirms these manoeuvres are consistently included.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Queensland's Q-SAFE practical driving test usually takes 30-35 minutes on the road, plus additional time for pre-drive vehicle checks and instructions.
-
Parallel or angle reverse parking
Three-point turn or turn in the road (U-turn)
Moving off safely, merging, lane changes (all part of the test criteria).
-
Possibly... particularly near regional centres, routes may include highway or expressway merges. Examiners will observe your safe merging, accurate speed control (ideally within 2–3 km/hr of limits), and correct lane use.
-
Speeding (even 1 km/hr over can be marked)
Failing to check blind spots
Rolling through stop signs
Poor observation for lane changes
-
Yes, but you must not rely on it entirely when reversing. Your examiner will expect you to use your mirrors and physically check blind spots, not just the camera screen.
-
Rural tests often occur on quieter roads without traffic lights, and while you might not encounter every situation, but will still need to demonstrate proper hazard perception, speed control, and safe vehicle handling.
Your test duration and route complexity will adapt to local conditions.
