Getting to become a Menulog delivery driver does have its own set of requirements so you will need to prepare for them before applying.

First, you need to have a vehicle that you will be using to deliver all of the food from the restaurants. The company will only accept vehicle models that are quite recent but they do provide a leeway when it comes to the vehicle that you have and it must be registered as well. 

They even allow vehicles from the year 1990 as long as it is still operational and safe to drive but having the most recent model is much appreciated.

Obtain Adequate Insurance

The company also requires you and your vehicle to have CTP insurance or compulsory third-party insurance. CTP insurance will provide you with compensation in case of injuries and accidents.

All states in Australia will require that your vehicle have insurance and you won’t be able to drive a vehicle without one. 

Driver Requirements

Now that you have a registered vehicle, it is time to apply as a Menulog driver. You should be 18 years old and above on the date of your application as a Menulog driver. Drivers must also have an open license so that everything is well within the laws and regulations in Australia.
