Looking at Moorabbbin in particular, I see schools like LearnToFly offering Recreational Pilot Certificates through Moorabbbin airport. My understanding of an RPC is that an RPC holder can only fly in Class G airspace. I'm interested in getting an RPC, but I'm wondering how it can legally happen at a flying school such as at Moorabbin, which is Class D?
How does an RPC holder fly within Class D?
in Governing Bodies

Just spoke with someone from Soar, who operate out of both Bankstown and Moorabbin. Got a somewhat similar answer: a flying school can have an exemption to operate their aircraft within Class D airspace. As a student, I can fly any of those aircraft under instruction. As an RPC holder, I can still fly any of those aircraft, so long as the place I hire from (not necessarily the same company I train under) has an exemption for that airport, and the company deems me fit to fly in Class D.
