Driver licensing is administered by the Department of State Growth under the Vehicle and Traffic Act 1999.

Tasmania runs the most finely staged learner system in the country, splitting the learner period into an L1 and an L2 stage with separate minimum durations.

That makes it unusually useful for this database. Where other jurisdictions have one learner period, Tasmania has two, and the question of whether the extra stage buys anything is answerable in principle by comparing novice crash outcomes across borders. This is the sort of question the database exists to make askable, not one it can answer on its own.
