It is never too soon to get your application under way.

In courts that run a daily or weekly quota for dealing with these applications, the slower you are to file your application the longer you are likely to have to wait for a hearing date.

This is a very common question particularly when the applicant has only recently landed their job and is anxious to ensure that nothing interferes with the retention of the job.

The Court application must be supported by evidence which takes the form of affidavits.

Applications for Work Licences in respect of certain driving charges (including alcohol related driving charges, Dangerous or reckless driving and charges involving death or injury) carry what is referred to as a mandatory 28 day stand-down period.

This will be determined by the Court based on the affidavit evidence presented in support of the application.

Generally, the court will specify a restricted driving range, driving timeframe and duration, the precise vehicle or vehicles that may only be driven, record-keeping obligations and other conditions relevant to the reason the applicant lost their licence in the first place.
