How do I get an MR and HR licence? (Australia)?

After looking for work for some time and not really getting anywhere I've decided that I'd go through the effort and get my MR and HR licence, hoping that it will increase my chances in getting ANY sort of job. My question is what is involved and how do I go about getting them?

Thanks.

    Upgrade Driver Licence

    Information on the upgrading a driver licence in the Australian Capital Territory

    When an ACT licence holder applies for an upgrade of a licence class or type, an upgrade form must be completed.

    To upgrade to a higher class of licence there is a minimum period that the current licence is to be held. The table below indicates the period for each class of licence.

    Class Minimum period current licence held

    LR hold a class C licence or equivalent for at least 1 year

    MR hold a class C licence or equivalent licence for at least 1 year

    HR hold a class C, licence or equivalent licence for at least 2 years

    HC hold a class MR or HR licence or equivalent licence for at least 1 year

    MC hold a class HR or HC licence or equivalent licence for at least 1 year

    ACT licensees seeking to upgrade their current ACT car licence to licence classes LR or higher, can learn to drive on their existing licences provided they pass a knowledge test at a Road Ready Centre (Downer or Phillip).

    People who are learning to drive must be accompanied by a person who holds a current, full licence class for the type of vehicle being used for tuition or a higher licence class. The tutor must have held that higher class of licence for at least 1 year.

    These are the truck licence details for New South Wales, which once we have acquired, allow us to drive interstate. LR....Light rigid, small bus or truck (2 axels) MR....Medium Rigid truck (2 axels ie bus) HR....Heavy Rigid truck (3 axels) HC....Heavy articulated vehicle, heavy combustion MC....Road train or B-double multi-combination For all of the above you have to hold a class 'c' licence, which is a normal car licence without provisions, for at least 1 year. For anything larger than a MR you have to of held a MR or LR for 2 years. Overseas licences are all transferred to the equivalent in Oz, but you will need proof of licence with the number of years you have held it. Good luck!
