The purpose of the Primary Principles is to establish a framework for a national driver licensing scheme throughout Australia. The scheme will provide uniform arrangements for the post‑novice licensing of drivers of motor vehicles, the renewal of licences, and their suspension and cancellation. The Primary Principles contain provisions relating to the appointment of a driver licensing authority, the functions and power of the authority, the security of personal or commercially sensitive information, the management of demerit points for driving offences, the delegation of powers by the authority, and the review of decisions made by the authority.
