This makes us sad! Through no fault of our own, our learn to drive car is out of action.
Our Learn to Drive program helps people from refugee and migrant backgrounds settling in Hobart to get their licence safely and legally. Gaining a licence is a foundation for settlement and employment.
This car is only 4 months old, and with it out of action 25 learners and their mentors have had to put driving practice on hold.
Understandably our clients, staff and volunteer mentors are enormously upset that this has happened. We hope to get the car back on the road soon.
P.S. If you know anything about the damage to our car, or would like to help us repair and get back on the road please contact us on 03 6221 0999.
