Am I eligible to apply?

The legislation governing Work licences specifies a number of situations where a person may not apply for a Work Licence, and in general terms these include:

• persons convicted of certain repeat drink or drug related driving charges where an indefinite disqualification has been imposed.
• persons convicted of drink or drug related driving in a vehicle used for a transport service if the Work Licence would authorise them to drive in a transport service.
• persons convicted of driving whilst disqualified or suspended or contrary to the terms of a zero alcohol, interlock or Work Licence.
• persons convicted of any two qualifying offences arising out of separate incidents committed within 5 years of each other (qualifying offences include drink or drug related driving (excluding youth level offences), dangerous or reckless driving, careless or inconsiderate driving causing injury or death, failing to stop after an accident, applying for or obtaining a driver’s licence while disqualified - the two qualifying offences do not need to be of a different kind and what is important is that the two offence dates must be within 5 years for the prohibition to apply).

If you do not fall into any of the above categories (and you have been disqualified by the court or your licence has been suspended due to excess demerit points) then you are eligible to apply."
