Yes — as well as learning correct technique, in NSW each hour with a professional instructor counts as 3 hours in your logbook, so a few lessons can save you many hours of supervised practice before the test.
You can — and you'll need to log plenty of supervised practice with a parent or carer either way. But a few professional lessons are still worth it: an instructor teaches current test technique, catches habits that are easy to pass on without realising, and in NSW each lesson hour counts as 3 logbook hours — so lessons actually save you supervising time. Most families do both: lessons to build skills, parent practice to clock up the hours.
In NSW you can get your learner licence from 16 years old, and start booking lessons straight away.
