‘Braking the Cycle’ – $5.16 million commitment for PCYC

Police-Citizens Youth Clubs (PCYC) around Queensland have received funding from the Palaszczuk Government for a training program to help learners clock-up the 100 driving hours they require to take their driving test. Acting Treasurer Bill Byrne today announced a $5.16 million three-year funding commitment for PCYC from the government’s Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC).

PCYC’s ‘Braking the Cycle’ program was launched around Queensland including Gladstone. The program aims to help disadvantaged youth how may not have access to a licensed driver or registered vehicle clock up their 100 hours. ‘Braking the Cycle’ program was developed by the Ipswich and Logan branches in 2011 in response to community concerns around unlawful driving and unemployment within lower socio-economic areas.
