School Drug Education and Road Aware has developed a pre-driver program called Keys for Life, to assist school staff to deliver pre-driver training to Year 10-12 students. Participating students receive free resources and a discounted rate on their Learner’s Permit.

A one day workshop is compulsory for teachers wishing to conduct the Keys for Life program.
