I only needed one lesson with Callum before I went for my drivers test! He taught me in a simple, professional but most importantly 'enjoyable' way, all the road rules, tricks and tips to ensure full success on the big day. I would reccomend Callum to all drivers, whether your a more nervous driver or confident - regardless there is always something he will teach you, and always something you can laugh about.

Finding the right driving instructor can make all the difference, and with Callum we truly struck gold. From the very first lesson, it was clear that this wasn't just about passing a test, it was about building confidence, awareness, and lifelong safe driving habits. My daughter started out understandably nervous, but that quickly changed thanks to Callum's calm, patient, and incredibly encouraging teaching style. Every lesson was structured yet relaxed, with clear explanations that made even the trickiest manoeuvres feel manageable. What really stood out was his ability to adapt, knowing when to challenge her and when to reassure her, which made her progress feel natural rather than pressured. His communication was excellent throughout. Feedback after each lesson was constructive and specific, giving my daughter a clear understanding of what she was doing well and where she could improve. It was also reassuring as a parent to know she was learning in such a supportive and professional environment. I couldn't recommend Callum more highly. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about their students and goes above and beyond to set them up for success, this is exactly who you want.

I had an excellent driving experience with Callum and couldn't recommend him highly enough. From the very first lesson, he was patient, calm, and incredibly supportive, which made learning to drive far less stressful and much more enjoyable. Callum explains everything clearly and in a way that's easy to understand, even the more challenging manoeuvres. He never rushes you and always takes the time to make sure you feel confident before moving on. His feedback is constructive and encouraging, helping you improve quickly while building real confidence on the road. What really sets Callum apart is his professionalism and positive attitude. He creates a relaxed learning environment, stays calm in every situation, and genuinely wants his students to succeed. Thanks to his guidance, I felt well-prepared, confident, and safe when driving independently. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and friendly driving instructor, Callum is the perfect choice. I'm extremely grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Callum was amazing to drive with and helped me pass my test first try. His extensive knowledge of the roads, friendly personality and calm demeanour are very assuring for any level of driver, whether you've just started or are going for your test. Definitely recommend!

Dejan G.January 2025

Passed test after 3 lessons + warm up session before test (convert overseas licence) Callum was really efficient and straight to the point in teaching the information needed to drive with Victorian road rules and what the examiners will be looking for. Also a really fun and genuine guy, had a lot of laughs during the lessons.

Who you will be learning with in Brunswick West

Every lesson in Brunswick West is taught by Callum Salgadoe, the principal instructor at Auslink and the only instructor in the business. Callum drove professionally for over twenty-two years before he began teaching, first for one of Melbourne's leading private limousine companies and then running his own operation, so the road craft he is teaching is the road craft he used for a living. He holds a Certificate IV in Transport and Logistics and a Working with Children Check.

The same instructor for every lesson means your progress is not reset each time. Callum takes on complete beginners, nervous drivers, overseas licence conversions and refresher students in Brunswick West, and keeps the lesson plan moving at the pace you are actually at.

His patience and understanding put me at ease and encouraged me to foster the confidence I needed to pass my driving test in Carlton.

$75 for 60 minutes and $140 for 120 minutes, with no travel surcharge anywhere in Brunswick West 3055. Most Brunswick West learners take the five hour beginner package at $360, which is $72 an hour.

I searched driving instructor near me and got a hundred results. What makes you different?

You get Callum, not a rostered pool, and the same person every lesson, so nobody has to re-learn which parts of Brunswick West you find hard. Twenty two years driving professionally before he started teaching, a Certificate IV in Transport and Logistics, a Working with Children Check, a 99% first time pass rate, 5.0 from 35 Google reviews and 5.0 from 60 on Word of Mouth.

Do you do automatic driving lessons Brunswick West?

Every lesson is automatic, so if you searched automatic driving lessons near me you are in the right place. A current model Toyota Corolla Hybrid with dual controls and an internal safety camera. An automatic test gives you an automatic licence, which is all most people need.

I have a driving test near me booked. Can you help?

Yes. If you are after a driving test instructor Brunswick West, we train on the real VicRoads routes at Carlton, Bundoora, Deer Park and Coolaroo before your date, not a made up version of them. Your closest centre is Carlton. You can also hire the car for test day, so you sit the test in the car you learned in.

Yes, from the very first lesson. Road rules and the basics first: signs and line markings, where to look and when, holding a lane, deciding at an intersection. We build up to traffic once that is solid.

Are you the cheapest? I am after cheap driving lessons Brunswick West.

Not the cheapest, and I would be careful of anyone who is. The packages are where the value sits: $360 for five hours works out at $72. No booking fee and no travel surcharge.

Which driving school near me do you cover?

Pickup anywhere in Brunswick West 3055, home, school or work, plus the neighbouring suburbs. We also train on the real VicRoads test routes at Carlton, Bundoora, Deer Park and Coolaroo.
