This service is only relevant to Queensland driver licence holders, who have been charged with a drug or alcohol related traffic offence.

An application for a Restricted “Work” Licence can only be made if you have not yet pleaded guilty to the offence which will cause you to lose your driver licence.

Generally speaking, you will be given a Notice to Appear by police for the offence which will cause you to lose your driver licence. That notice will tell you the date you are required to appear in court. On that date you can inform the court that you intend to make an application for Restricted “Work” Licence. A hearing date for the application will then be allocated. You should ensure your documents are ready to be filed with the court registry before your first appearance in court, although they may be able to filed at a later day, so long as they are filed prior to the date listed for hearing of the application.
