Step 3- Required Documents

A valid Australian Drivers Licence (Learners Permit included) is all you need to bring for proof of identity and having adequate eyesight to be able to operate a boat. If you have a valid Australian Drivers licence you DO NOT need to get an eye test done. Your Australian Drivers Licence is the only document you will need to bring to the assessment. If you are underage and do not have a drivers licence or a learners permit, you will need to provide proof of identity and get an eye test.

Proof of identity: You need ONE full proof of identity document, no other I.D. required

• Australian Drivers Licence
• Australian Passport
• Proof of age Card
• Australian Defence force photographic identity card
• Federal or Western Australian police officer photographic identity card
• Marine Certificate of Competency carrying a photograph of the holder

If you don’t have any of these items DO NOT WORRY you can still get your Skippers Ticket. Follow this link to get all the info on I.D. requirements: yachting.org.au You can also call 0449 174 350 to speak to a real person who can give you all the info you need.

Eyesight Test
