Is it legal for P-platers to tow a trailer?

AutoExec Summary
There is no uniform rule for towing on provisional licences in Australia, with different restrictions in each state and territory. Learners are generally not allowed to tow, while P1 licence holders may have limitations on what they can tow. P2 licence holders usually have fewer restrictions. It is recommended to take towing lessons before attempting to tow anything. Check with your state or territory’s laws before towing. Some states, like NSW and Queensland, allow towing on P plates, while others, like Victoria, have more restrictions. Common sense should prevail, but it’s best to know the rules.
