About the Challenge

Transport for NSW (TfNSW) asked innovators to create a digital alternative to the printed log book for learner drivers in NSW. We asked talented creatives, developers and entrepreneurs to submit their concepts that protect or enhance driver safety, deliver a seamless customer-centric experience and work with government systems. Transport for NSW worked in conjunction with Westpac to deliver a solution to this exciting challenge.

After applications closed in July 2017, the top 12 applicants pitched their designs to a panel of judges that included Head of Driver Safety at the NRMA Peta Lemon, NSW Young Australian of the Year Melissa Abu-Gazaleh, start-up industry expert Cindy Nicholson and Advocate for Children and Young People Andrew Johnson.

Three apps were chosen to go through our incubation process. After a very successful incubation period they were officially endorsed by Transport for NSW. The three endorsed apps are the only ones currently accepted by Roads and Maritime Services and Service NSW as evidence of your 120 hours of driving experience. For further information and to have a look at FAQs please visit the RMS website by clicking here.
 

Roundtrip is an app for NSW Learner Drivers that makes it super easy to record supervised driving practice. Tap the record button, enter your odometer reading, and you’re off! You can close the app and put it somewhere safe, and while you’re driving Roundtrip will track your time, start and end location, weather and more, so you can focus on learning to drive.

Use Roundtrip to view and unlock learning goals, see your total practice times and when you’re ready you can submit your practice to Roads and Maritime Services as an official record. No more paper logbook needed!

Key features include:

  • Officially recognised replacement for your NSW paper logbook

  • Automatically record your practice time, location, weather and more while your drive

  • Lock your phone and put it away while you drive and the app will keep recording
