How to repair uneven concrete driveway?

Recommendations please for repairing this step in driveway - concerned about major trip hazard. Has been there for a few years now and hoping I can do a short-term solution until I can afford a new driveway. I was thinking adding cement but wasn’t sure which products to use. 

Defect caused by tree root - tree was removed couple years ago.

Re: repairing driveway

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @amyOHT. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a driveway.

You might like to consider having the raised edge professionally ground down to reduce its obtrusiveness or having the lower slab raised. Alternatively, you could attempt to add a small ramped section to the lower side. Given the heavy traffic from vehicles, I'm not entirely convinced adding a cement ramp section will hold up under those conditions; it's likely to crack and separate. If you did want to give it a go, I'd suggest using Lanko 5kg 702 Durabed Structural Grout.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
