Why learners choose Callum
Callum is a VicRoads accredited driving instructor and the only instructor at Auslink, so the person you book is the person who turns up to every lesson. That standing is not a claim we make about ourselves. Auslink holds 5.0 stars from 35 Google reviews and 5.0 stars from 60 reviews on Word of Mouth, where it has taken out the Service Award in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Ninety five reviews across two independent platforms, averaging five stars on both, alongside a 99% first time pass rate.
Read through them and the same learners keep appearing. Parents booking for a teenager who has just gone on their Ls. Adults who have been putting the test off for years because a previous instructor made them anxious. Drivers converting an overseas licence who need Victorian road rules and the test standard quickly. People coming back to the wheel after a decade or more off the road. Parallel parking, car stackers and the Carlton test routes come up again and again, because that is what Melbourne learners actually get marked down on.
Every lesson is in a dual control automatic, a current model Toyota Corolla Hybrid, and you can sit your test in the same car you trained in. Pickup is from home, school or work anywhere Auslink covers, with no travel surcharge and no booking fee.
What learners have written
My daughter started out understandably nervous, but that quickly changed thanks to Callum's calm, patient, and incredibly encouraging teaching style.
Campbell R., 2026, Word of MouthPrevious instructors have left me feeling anxious. As a mature age learner Callum instantly eased any hesitation I had and gave me the confidence i needed behind the wheel.
samanthas769, 2022, Word of MouthPassed test after 3 lessons plus a warm up session before the test, converting an overseas licence. Callum was really efficient and straight to the point in teaching the information needed to drive with Victorian road rules.
