Get a Bus Licence?

In Australia, driving a bus requires a medium rigid (MR) or heavy rigid (HR) licence; there is no such thing as a 'bus licence. The MR license is valid for buses with a gross vehicle mass of more than eight tonnes and a maximum of two axles. The HR permit is valid for buses with a gross vehicle mass of more than eight tonnes and three or more axles.

For either Bus licence, you must pass the HVCBA - heavy vehicle competency-based assessment. You can apply for an MR license after having held a class C driver's license for at least one year (including your time spent on P1). You can begin practicing with a supervisor in an MR vehicle if you have at least a P2 car license; you can even get your MR license before you get your full class C license.

Before you can get your medium rigid license, you must first pass the MR knowledge test, an eyesight test, and the HVCBA.

With a class HR, you must have held a class C licence (at least P1) for at least two years. You can practice with a supervisor as soon as you have a P2 licence.

Like with the MR, you need to pass a knowledge test and an eyesight test as well as the HVCBA or a heavy vehicle driving test. The test is identical in an HR to an MR and is not much more expensive. Getting an HR licence will give you more employment opportunities, so go for that licence if you can.

If you want to apply for the licence, you can fill out this form. Once you have your MR or HR licence you’ll need to meet other requirements in order to be able to carry passengers. You need to apply for authorisation from the relevant department (e.g. Service NSW in NSW).

To be eligible you must be at least 20 years old (although it’s 21 in some areas), hold an unrestricted driver licence that you have held for a total of at least 12 months in the previous 2 years, be medically fit to drive a public passenger vehicle and have successfully completed Bus Driver Authority training.

In the application, you’ll need to send in a police check that’s no more than 3 months old, a medical assessment no more than 6 months old, a certified copy of your licence, 2 recent passport photos, evidence of training and any payment required.
