About us
Benaraby Driver Education Facility (BDEF) was established in 2017 as a not for profit organisation that facilitates Driver Education Programs in Central Queensland. We want to raise awareness of the important role that Education has in helping to reduce road trauma by establishing a collaborative engagement with Driver Education Specialists in QLD.
Our education and technical driving courses are aimed to actively create safer, more aware drivers within our community. By providing Gladstone Region with the platform and key principles of low risk, defensive driving. We believe that Education is the key to reducing road trauma and that this is The Future of Road Safety.
