Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy

This policy outlines the cancellation and rescheduling conditions that apply to all Drive Blue bookings.

Last updated: 20 October 2026. This page summarises Policy 02 on our Policies page.

Back on Track courses

Back on Track courses have their own terms. Written notice by email to submissions@driveblue.com.au or text message to 0413 198 025, from the participant, is required at least 72 hours before the course starts; otherwise the full course fee is payable. See the Back on Track Attendance and Cancellation Policy (Policy 02A).

Give at Least 24 Hours' Notice

Give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or move a lesson, assessment, test or training session. Call or text 0413 198 025, email enquiries@driveblue.com.au, or use the link in your booking email (it works until 24 hours before). Notice counts from when we receive it, and we confirm it.

24 hours or more: no charge. Anything you have already paid moves to the new time, or we refund it within 5 business days.

Less than 24 hours: the full session fee is charged. Moving a session with less than 24 hours' notice counts as a late cancellation.

Unwell or Not Fit to Drive?

Never drive unwell to avoid a fee. Tell us before your session starts, or tell your trainer when the lesson starts, and there is no charge, once in any 12 months.

Cyclones and Official Warnings

During a cyclone watch, sessions may go ahead at your trainer's discretion. If we cancel, there is no charge; if you cancel, the 24-hour rule applies. When a cyclone warning covers your area, all lessons and tests stop and are rebooked after the authorities give the all clear, at no charge.

If a severe weather or flood warning, or a road closure, covers your area or route, there is no charge. See also Policy 10.

Back on Track, Funded, Remote and Regional Bookings

Back on Track courses have their own 72-hour rule (Policy 02A).

Funded, organisation, remote and regional bookings follow the terms in the quote or agreement (remote and regional: Policy 02B).

If We Are Running Late or Cancel

If we are running late by 5 minutes or more, we text you before your start time to say how late. You get the time back at the end of the lesson or in a future lesson, or you can cancel and rebook at no cost to you. For a test, the examiner offers to cancel and rebook without loss of any fee paid.

If we cancel, we tell you as early as we can and offer you a full refund or a new day and time.
