Learner Driver Mentor Program (Get in2 Gear)

program supports our community members who are having difficulty getting their driver’s licence. This could be for a range of reasons from not having access to a vehicle, to living in an isolated area, or not having someone willing to help you get your hours up.

The program is coordinated by us with help from volunteers in our community who guide the learner drivers through the road rules, driver safety and assist with their 30+ for L1 and 50 + for L2 on road hours until they are confident enough to go for their driving test.

If you would like to be a part of this program as either a mentor or a learner driver, please have a look at the links below which covers eligibility and includes an application form.

Alternatively you can give our office a call on 6376 7900 and we can guide you through the process.

Here in Break O’Day we are a diverse mix of people with a range of interests as well as a strong volunteer network.

Volunteers are an integral part of our community and without them many things would not be possible, from events to community led initiatives. If you have any spare time and would like to be a part of our vibrant community, the contact list below will help you get in touch with the right people.

We endeavour to keep the list as up to date as possible, however we do rely on community groups keeping us informed of any changes.

If you would like your group added to the list or any details changed,  please contact us.

The Sponsorship Program offers a unique opportunity to support Community of Break O’Day in Co-contribution with Break O’Day Council.
As a sponsor, you may choose to contribute a donation for either a picnic table or bench seat to celebrate events such as a birth or a wedding anniversary. Alternatively, you may wish to pay tribute to a loved one who was either born or has lived here at some stage.
Through the Sponsorship Program, you are supporting the costs of purchasing and maintaining the picnic table or seat.
