Driving Test at Miranda Service NSW

ABOUT THE TEST CENTRE

Miranda Service Centre is located inside Westfield Miranda, with the entrance on Kiora Road at the corner of Kingsway.

Parking and arrival

Driver-test parking bays are located in the car park accessible via Kingsway. After parking, the safest route to the Service NSW entrance on Kiora Road is through Westfield Shopping Centre.

The walk from the driver-test parking area to the centre entrance is less than 25 metres, and the route is accessible.

Arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment. This gives you enough time to find the correct car park, walk to the Service NSW counter, check in and have your documents reviewed, and prepare your vehicle before meeting the driver tester.

Accessibility and quiet-hour services

Miranda Service Centre provides wheelchair access, a hearing loop, Auslan video remote interpreting, remote live captioning and accessible seating. The centre also offers Quiet Hour at selected times. During Quiet Hour, customers are asked to keep their phones on silent and speak quietly. Check the current opening-hours information before booking or attending.

Booking your driving test

You must book your driving test before arriving. Bookings can be made:

• Online through Service NSW.

• By calling 13 77 88.

• In person at a Service NSW Centre.

Opening hours and appointment availability can change, so check the official Miranda Service Centre page before travelling.

What to bring

• Your licence application form, if required.

• Your learner licence or other identification.

• Your learner driver log book, if applicable.

• Proof of identity.

• A roadworthy vehicle that is safe and suitable for the test.

• Your Pensioner Concession Card, if you are claiming a concession.

Your vehicle must meet the required safety standards. Check that the lights, indicators, tyres, seatbelts, mirrors and other essential equipment are working before you arrive.

What happens on test day

When you arrive, check in at the Service NSW counter. A team member will confirm your appointment and explain where to wait.

The driver tester will meet you before the test and inspect your vehicle to make sure it is safe and roadworthy. During the test, you may be asked to complete ordinary driving tasks such as:

• Moving off and stopping safely.

• Turning at intersections.

• Changing lanes.

• Responding correctly to traffic signs and signals.

• Performing observation checks.

• Parking or completing other low-speed manoeuvres.

• Driving through residential and busier local streets.

The exact route and instructions can vary. Focus on following the tester’s directions, obeying speed limits, checking mirrors and blind spots, and making safe decisions rather than trying to memorise one particular route.

Tips for practising at Miranda

Practise around the roads surrounding Westfield Miranda and become comfortable with:

• Entering and leaving the shopping-centre car park.

• Giving way at intersections and roundabouts.

• Maintaining the correct lane through turns.

• Checking blind spots before changing lanes.

• Driving near pedestrians, buses and shopping-centre traffic.

• Completing controlled stops and parking manoeuvres.

• Maintaining a safe following distance.

• Reading speed-limit signs and adjusting promptly.

A useful practice session should include both quiet residential streets and busier roads. Ask your supervising driver or instructor to give directions in the same clear, brief style used during a driving test.

After the test

At the end of the test, the driver tester will review the result with you. If you pass, follow the instructions provided by Service NSW to pay for and obtain your licence. If you do not pass, ask the tester for feedback and use it to plan your next practice session and booking.
