About The Licence

Multi Combination vehicles include: B-doubles; Prime mover, low loader dolly and low loader trailer combinations; and road trains.

Before training and assessment for a Multi Combination Vehicle licence can be undertaken an applicant must:

• Have held a class HR or HC licence or equivalent for one (1) year or more. ~ Note: Any time you've spent on a P2 HR licence counts, but you can't practice to drive an MC vehicle, or upgrade to an MC licence until you hold a full class HR or HC licence.
• Pass the MC knowledge test
• Pass an eyesight test
• Pass a medical examination ~ See FAQ'S below for more info on the medical.

After successful completion of the eyesight, knowledge test, and medical, an applicant may apply for a Heavy Vehicle Competency Based Assessment (HVCBA) Learners Logbook and may then undertake training and assessment to obtain a Multi Combination (MC) licence.

About the training

Heavy Vehicle Competency Based Assessment is run by Roads and Maritime Services (formerly Roads and Traffic Authority - RTA) accredited Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) with heavy vehicle licensed driving instructors.

In this scenario, any additional training to complete this class of licence will be charged at $1200 per day.
