Get started with Learn&log
Learn&Log provides a quick and easy way to digitally log, submit, and track your supervised driving hours on a mobile device.
You can access this service through the ServiceWA app, which can be downloaded from Google Play store and App store.
Logging into the ServiceWA app with your Digital ID (myID) digital identity
To access the Learn&Log service, you will need to log into ServiceWA with a standard strength myID digital identity. If you do not have a Digital ID, you will need to create one. For your Digital ID to be Standard strength, you need to verify your ID with any 2 of the following:
- passport (an Australian passport, either current or no more than 3 years expired)
- driver’s licence or learner’s permit
- birth certificate
- visa (using your foreign passport)
- ImmiCard
- citizenship certificate
- Medicare card (this option appears after you verify one of the above documents).
A detailed guide of how set up your myID digital identity can be found via the following link:
Linking Learn&Log to your ServiceWA profile
You can link the Learn&Log service to your ServiceWA profile within the app’s Discovery tab. Within this tab you can find links to recently visited, linkable services and a list of the popular government services you can access.
Switch from DTMI paper log book
If you started logging your supervised driving hours using the paper log book and want to now switch to using Learn&Log, you can transfer the hours at any time.
Adding hours into Learn&Log is optional as either way you will still have to present your paper log book when you attend your Practical Driving Assessment (PDA).
A step-by-step walkthrough of this process can be found in the Learn&Log user guide.
Declare your hours
Once you've completed your minimum 50 hours, including your 5 hours of nighttime driving you can declare your hours.
1. On the 'Progress' screen, tap the 'Declare my hours' button.
2. Once on the 'Declare my hours' page, sign the 'Declaration of Completion' signature panel and click save.
3. On the 'Declare my hours' screen tap 'Submit declaration'. DTMI will have a record of your completed hours.
Note: Submit your 'Declaration of Completion' at least 24 hours before your PDA and bring the device you use for Learn&Log with you on the day.
4. The 'Progress' screen now shows you have declared your logged hours.
5. Click on the 'View my declaration' to view your 'Certificate of Completion'. This can be done at any time. Close this screen to view the next steps in your learner journey.
6. On the 'Progress screen' you'll be shown 'Next Steps'. You can read what to do next.
To book your PDA you must have held your learners permit for at least 6 months and be at least 16 and half years of age. Take your ID with you and you will have to pay some money to sit the test.
Safe use of Learn&Log
Driver distraction is a problem on our roads. It’s recommended that the trip is started within Learn&Log while the learner is safely parked. The phone should then be put aside so the supervisor can focus on the learner driver.
Remember, it's illegal to use a handheld mobile phone while driving.
