Uber, Ola, Didi driver application process in Brisbane QLD

You need to follow below steps to complete the Uber driver application process

1. Make sure you have working rights and you hold the QLD open driving license for at least 1 year.
2. Ensure that car is not more than 10 years old. 
3. Car documents - Comprehensive Insurance, Rego Certificate.
4. Complete the Medical assessment and then apply for Booked Hire / Taxi (BHTX) Driver’s Authorisation (DA) at Trasport department office. This cost me $200 for BHTX license and $85 for medical.
5. Get Certificate of Inspection from authorized inspection centers. I would recommend Redbook. This cost me $65. Note that Roadworthy certificate (also called as safety certificate is different)
6. Vehicle should by covered by correct CTP insurance.  Class 26, or Class 4, 10A or 11. Mine car has CTP class 1. So I had to change it by contacting CTP provider (Allianz in my case). Your current CTP provider is mentioned in the Car rego certificate. 
7. Then apply for Booked hire service license (BHSL). You need to complete this step for every vehicle you want to drive. This cost me $250
8. Get ABN and Register for GST.
9. To pick up rides at Brisbane Airport, you will need to get e-Tag installed in your car. I got it from Linkt
10. Contact Comprehensive Car insurance provider (Note that CTP Insurance provider may be different from the Comprehensive insurance provider) to inform them about your intention to use car for carrying passengers. You will have to pay extra premium as well for this.
11. Get Roadside assistance certificate
12. You also need to get Uber/Didi/Ola stickers that must be displayed on wind shield.
13. Prepare for tax implications. 

Once you have all above documents, you can apply for driving with Uber, Ola or Didi. Same documents would be required by all ride sharing companies.
