Q-Ride registered service providers

Q-Ride registered service providers

Q-Ride registered service providers focus on:

  • improving the quality of motorcycle learner rider training
  • boosting education and awareness
  • enhancing road safety.

Only Q-Ride registered service providers can deliver the Q-Ride training curriculum to learner motorcycle riders. If the Q-Ride registered service provider is not an accredited rider trainer, they must employ, or engage, a person who is an accredited rider trainer to deliver the Q-Ride training curriculum.

Apply to become a Q-Ride registered service provider

To apply to become a Q-Ride registered service provider you need to:

  • submit a completed application form with all relevant documentation
    • in person at Transport and Main Roads customer service centre 
    • by email, including your criminal history check receipt, to the Industry Licensing team at qride@tmr.qld.gov.au. 

Renew your Q-Ride registration

To continue as a Q-Ride registered service provider you must renew your Q-Ride registered service provider registration before it expires.

You cannot provide Q-Ride training if your registration is expired.

  • pay a criminal history check fee of $49.30, for each person listed in the application at a Department of Transport and Main Roads Customer Service Centre who will undertake the police criminal history check on your behalf (a Police Certificate supplied by the applicant is not acceptable).

Cancel your Q-Ride registration

A Q-Ride registered service provider may voluntarily cancel their registration at any time.

A Q-Ride registered service provider must notify the Q-Ride Administrator if, as an individual or business, it becomes insolvent under administration or is being wound up as it is immediately cancelled if, as a business, the business is wound up.

A Q-Ride registered service provider registration is immediately cancelled if, as an individual, the individual dies or becomes an insolvent under administration.

Become a senior rider trainer
