Apply For a Work Licence
Information on when you can apply for a Work Licence, how it may benefit you, and why you should engage a lawyer.
-
What Charges Allow You to Apply for A Work Licence?
- You may be eligible to apply for a Work Licence during your licence disqualification for a charge of driving with a blood alcohol concentration (drink driving) or driving with a relevant drug in your system (drug driving).
-
When Do You Make an Application for A Work Licence?
- You must make your application at the time the Court sentences you for drink or drug driving. You only have one chance to apply for a work licence, i.e., if your application is unsuccessful, you cannot apply again.
-
Is It Worth Applying for A Work Licence?
- Drink driving offences and drug driving offences carry mandatory minimum periods of disqualification. For a first offence only, these periods range from 1-6 months depending on your situation. For subsequent offences, the minimum disqualification period can increase to over 12 months. If losing your licence for this period will cause you to lose your job, this may cause you extreme hardship. A Work Licence may save you and your family from financial ruin and allow you to earn a livelihood.
-
Is My Application More Likely to Be Successful with a Lawyer?
- The Courts want to see that you consider an offence to be serious. You can show this with appropriate preparation of your application and sentence material. By engaging one of our lawyers your affidavits will include all necessary information, we will advise you on driving courses to undertake regarded by the Courts, you will receive direction on obtaining character references, and your lawyer will be in Court to speak on your behalf and answer any of the Magistrate’s questions. You application is much more likely to succeed with the help of an experienced lawyer.

Experienced & Confident Lawyers for Work Licence Applications How To Apply for A Work Licence
Your lawyer will draft your affidavit material to demonstrate the following key requirements.
1. You Are a Fit & Proper Person to Hold a Restricted Work Licence
The Court will examine the circumstances of the offence against your driving history. They will then determine this by considering the safety of other road users and the public.
It is crucial to satisfy the Magistrate of this point, as otherwise, they cannot grant you a Work Licence.
If you believe you have a poor driving history, this does not necessarily mean you cannot get a Work Licence. We can review your history to first advise you on your prospects.
We have success with challenging applications.
2. You Will Suffer Extreme Hardship If Not Granted a Restricted Work Licence
You must also show that failing to grant your application would deprive you of the ability to earn a living. The Court will look at your finances and whether this would cause you, or your family, to suffer hardship. It is likely you will suffer hardship, if, without a Restricted licence:
- you would lose your job;
- you would lose your income; or
- your business would suffer significantly.
Generally, you must meet the below criteria to be eligible for a Restricted Work Licence. We can review your situation and let you know whether you are eligible to apply.
