USE CASE
Learner Driver Licensing Online
Safer drivers start here.
From road rules to real-world responsibility, Compono’s digital learner licensing helps young drivers build safer habits and skills.
The Challenge
For decades, learner driver licensing across Australia was heavily dependent on in-person testing and rote memorisation.
This traditional approach created barriers for young drivers—especially those in regional areas—while high crash rates among novice drivers underscored a deeper problem. It wasn’t just about knowing the rules; it was about fostering safer attitudes and behaviours.
-
Access Barriers: Regional and remote learners faced travel costs and limited testing availability.
-
Outdated Testing Models: Static, paper-based tests failed to capture the complexity of real-world driving.
-
High-Risk Outcomes: Despite passing tests, novice drivers continued to be overrepresented in crash statistics.

The Solution
Compono Assure, developed in partnership with multiple state governments—including Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and South Australia—has fundamentally reshaped the licensing journey.
Through products like PrepL, the Learner Permit Test Online, the Driver Knowledge Test Online and myLs, we’ve delivered engaging, interactive road safety education that goes beyond memorisation.
These programs combine scenario-based simulations, branching decision pathways, and real-world testimonials—delivering not only road rule knowledge, but reinforcing the values and mindsets that underpin safe driving. Multiple layers of assessment are built to reinforce learning before a final competency-based test.
The platform is fully WCAG 2.1 AA compliant and accessible across devices, helping break down geographic and literacy-related barriers.

Key features include:
- Interactive scenarios: Realistic driving situations that adapt to learner choices, helping them understand the consequences of risky behaviour.
- Real stories: Testimonials from crash survivors, families, and first responders, creating an emotional connection to road safety.
- Focus on attitudes: Moving beyond rote learning, content is designed to foster a mindset of responsible, safe driving.
- Multi-tiered assessment: Learners build knowledge progressively before attempting the final test.
- Hazard Perception Testing (HPT): Real-time hazard identification skills for light vehicles and motorcycles, ensuring learners are prepared for real-world driving.

“Students won’t just learn the road rules; they’ll learn why the rules exist, and experience the consequences of poor driving behaviour.”
