Home › Lessons › Automatic Driving Lessons Melbourne
Auslink Driving Academy teaches in an automatic, and only in an automatic. Every lesson runs in a Toyota Corolla Hybrid fitted with dual controls and an internal safety camera, so there is no clutch to think about while you are still learning to read traffic.
I am a VicRoads accredited instructor and a myLearners Free Lesson provider, with a Cert IV in Transport and Logistics and a current Working with Children check. Lessons are one-on-one, and I pick you up from home, school or work anywhere across the suburbs we cover.

Why learners choose an automatic
Learning in an automatic takes one job off your plate. Instead of splitting attention between gears, clutch and the road, you can put all of it into the things the VicRoads test actually assesses: observation, lane position, gap selection, speed control and hazard perception.
- Nervous or first time drivers get moving sooner, because there is nothing to stall
- Overseas licence holders can focus purely on Victorian road rules and test routes
- Learners who will only ever drive an automatic are not paying for a skill they will not use
- Anxious learners and mature-age students find the first few hours far less overwhelming
The car you will learn in
A Toyota Corolla Hybrid automatic, fully insured, dual controlled and fitted with an internal safety camera. It is a small, quiet, easy car to place on the road, which matters when you are learning on Melbourne’s narrower inner-suburban streets. If you book a Test package you sit the VicRoads test in this same car, not a family vehicle you have barely driven.
What automatic lessons cost
60 minute lesson $75. 120 minute lessons are available, and discounted Beginner and VicRoads Test packages are set out on the Lessons page. Eligible 16 to 21 year olds can also claim a free 1 hour myLearners session with their supervising driver.

Do you teach in an automatic car?
Yes. Every Auslink lesson runs in an automatic Toyota Corolla Hybrid fitted with dual controls and an internal safety camera. We do not teach in a manual.

Can I use your automatic car for the VicRoads test?
Yes. Test day car hire is included in our Test packages, so you sit the test in the same automatic car you have been learning in rather than a family vehicle.
I hold an overseas licence. Can I do a refresher in an automatic?
Yes. Refresher lessons for overseas licence holders are one of the most common bookings. We focus on Victorian road rules, roundabouts, tram traffic and the test routes.
