Car to Bus: Licence Upgrade Program – Become a Kinetic Bus Driver

We’re searching for new drivers to be the face of Kinetic. Help us take people where they need to go and join Australasia’s largest and fastest-growing bus operator.

Whether you're changing careers or just looking for something more rewarding, our Car to Bus Licence Upgrade Program is your opportunity to join a supportive team and start a career in public transport – no bus driving experience required.

We’ll pay you while we train you to upgrade your car licence to a Medium Rigid (MR) licence, followed by a five-week, hands-on induction program. This includes a mix of classroom and on-road training. You’ll also receive ongoing support over the next 12 months to gain a nationally recognised qualification.

All you need to bring is your smile, energy, passion, and commitment to creating awesome experiences for our customers, communities, and teammates.

• Based in Rockhampton

Our drivers are fully trained to provide exceptional customer service and ensure safe and reliable journeys. You'll drive a range of services, including general routes, charters and special events, and play a vital role in ticket sales, customer interaction, and community connection.

The wheels of change are in motion – are you ready to jump on board?

We’re after people who bring a customer-first attitude and who tick a few important boxes:
