Driver Awareness Program

Why should you complete a DAP ?

All new club members need to be aware that in order to take part in organised club trips other than easy, social, sight-seeing or eco, they must have completed the club Driver Awareness Program (DAP). 

Exemption may be granted by the DAP Officer for members who have already completed an equivalent DAP training course, either with:

  • Another recognised 4WD club;

  • A Commercial training organisation. 

  • Defence Force training may also be recognised. 

Proof of completion of such a course needs to be produced.

Membership of the club is not dependent upon the completion of the DAP   Member may choose not to do the DAP.  In this case members should be aware they are restricted from driving on some trips organised by the club.  This depends on the track grading.  See the track grading system set out on the Trip Tips page
.

  • Complete the DAP course, request DAP equivalence citing previous training and experience or advise the membership officer of their intention to not undertake the DAP.
