This page walks through the signup at a high level. It is not the platform's onboarding and it does not decide who is approved. The steps below are ones drivers commonly work through; your actual requirements depend on your state or territory and the vehicle you will use.
Before you start, get these lined up
- Your driver licence with enough time on it for your state's rules.
- Any state or territory driver authorisation or accreditation that applies where you live.
- An ABN, and a GST registration if you need one.
- A vehicle that meets the platform's age and condition rules for your city.
- Clean documents: licence, registration, insurance, and a background-check clearance if required.
Our guides walk through each of these in detail: how to become an Uber driver in Australia, requirements, licences and background checks, and the Queensland getting-started guide.
The signup, step by step
- Open the signup link and create your account with your legal details.
- Upload your licence, vehicle documents and any state authorisation.
- Complete the background check the platform requests for your area.
- Add your bank details and tax information.
- Wait for approval, then complete any in-app onboarding or local requirements.

Referral disclosure. Some links on this site are referral links. If you sign up through one we may receive a benefit at no extra cost to you. Offers vary by city and date, are set by the platform, and are not guaranteed. Read the full referral disclosure.
Offers change by city and date and may require a minimum number of trips in a set period. Nothing here is a promise of earnings or a bonus.
Common questions
Does using a referral link cost me more?
No. You sign up at the platform's standard terms.
Am I guaranteed a bonus or a trip target?
No. Any offer is set and governed by the platform and depends on your city and the date. Read the current terms in the signup flow.
Will I definitely be approved?
No. Approval depends on meeting the platform's and your regulator's requirements. Our guides can help you prepare, but they cannot guarantee an outcome.
Is FutureShift the platform?
No. We are an independent editorial site and are not affiliated with Uber or any platform.
