Learner Awareness & Online Safety for NSW Learners

Helpful guidance to keep you safe, informed and in control.

Also see our NSW Driving Test Green Sheet guide, official learner resources or contact us if you need help.

  • Posting your photo is optional — saying no will not affect your lessons.
  • If you say yes, give consent in writing (SMS/DM/email/form) and keep a copy.
  • If you’re under 18, a parent/guardian should give written consent.
  • You can change your mind later — write our or relevant driving school to remove the post with your image.

  • Your greensheet contains personal details — treat it like any other private document.
  • Avoid posting it publicly.
  • Want to understand the sheet? See our quick guide here: Greensheet Help.

  • Some marketing images showing pass with plates may be AI-generated online or heavily edited.
  • Warning signs: strange hands/fingers, distorted text/logos, mismatched shadows, impossible reflections.
  • If a post looks “too perfect” or shows something unrealistic, save screenshots/links and better to ask for genuine reviews from that driving school.
  • If someone download your photos from Social Media and shares or threatens to share intimate/degrading images, contact the eSafety Commissioner for help.
  • For scams (fake profiles, payment requests, impersonation), report to Scamwatch and your bank immediately.

  • “Guaranteed first-time pass” claims are not realistic — no one can promise the test route or your result.
  • Be cautious of posts that look “official” or suggest approval by Service NSW/TfNSW.
  • Watch for fake “local” claims, hidden fees, or discounts that don’t match the real price.
  • If anyone offers to cheat,clear, or complete the computer-based DKT/knowledge test for someone else - or if you are asked for or offered a bribe - report it to Service NSW

  • Ask the driving school to remove the content (send a clear written request).
  • Keep screenshots/URLs and note dates.
  • If ignored, report the post to the platform and consider the eSafety Commissioner if appropriate.

  • Do not engage with threats; collect evidence (screenshots, links, usernames).
  • Report to the platform and seek help from the eSafety Commissioner.
  • If money is demanded, keep messages and contact your bank/police for advice.

  • Never pay from links sent by random DMs. Use official sites or links only.
  • If you paid a scammer, contact your bank immediately and file a report.
  • Report fake profiles,fake pages,fake pass claims etc and share the handles with us so we can warn others.
