Do You Qualify?

You do not qualify for a work licence if:

• you have an indefinite disqualification and have been ordered to attend an Assessment centre as a result of repeat offences involving alcohol and drugs.
• you have been convicted of any two of the following types of offences committed in separate incidents within 5 years of each other:
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (excluding youth alcohol level)
  • Reckless or dangerous driving
  • Careless driving causing injury or death
  • Failing to stop after an accident
  • Applying for or obtaining a licence whilst disqualified from doing so

Further it is not possible to apply for a work licence:

• for the purpose of conducting driving tests or acting as a driving instructor
• for use in a passenger service (unless no more than 20 of the demerit points were accumulated while driving in a passenger service)
• for use in a transport service, if you were disqualified for excess alcohol while operating transport service vehicle

Barrister Melanie Coxon can help you online if:

• this is your first or second suspension for demerit points and you need to drive for work
• this is your first drink drive conviction within the past five years (and you have no other disqualifying conviction - see above) and are now on a 28 day stand down or your stand down period has just expired
• you have been charged with sustained loss of traction or other traffic offence resulting in suspension

and now need a work licence fast to keep your job.

If you qualify then click the RED get started button on this page then answer the questions.
(It will take you approximately 10 minutes)

Double check that you have put in the correct rego number/s of the vehicle you seek to drive. Also ensure that the vehicle/s you wish to drive from home to work and home again or just at work are currently registered and have a valid warrant of fitness. If they do not, your application will be seriously delayed.

How it Works

Take 10 minutes and answer as many of the questions as you can on my website then hit the submit button.

As soon as I receive your response on my iphone, I or one of my staff will contact you and make an appointment for you to see me the very next day. No messing around.

When you arrive at my chambers I will give you a copy of my client care documents which includes my fee quote $600 + gst. No surprises! Then with your help I will complete preparation of your application in a timely fashion.

Once this is done I will give you my bill of costs. You will then have 7 days to pay it online. I will then fax or deliver a copy of your application to the police, at the same time booking you a court appointment for the hearing of your application. I will also pay the $153.33 filing fee for you in the first instance but you must repay me in cash or online before your matter is called in court.

Now you know what is going to happen, stop sweating! Just click the RED 'Get Started' button on the work licence page and leave the rest up to me!

* How the Money Back Guarantee Works

My ‘Money back Guarantee’ applies only if the police refuse consent or the Judge refuses to grant the draft order filed in court or any subsequent amended order despite police consent.

The money back guarantee is subject to you providing me accurate information when you answer the website questions/and or during our telephone conference or in person interview. ie you must have no previous disqualifying offences within 5 years of the date of your current offence. The guarantee applies only if the judge fails to grant the application. It does not operate if for any reason you instruct me to stop or withdraw the application once I have prepared your affidavit and supporting papers and obtained police consent. ie you change your mind for any reason whatsoever.

A half fee refund is available if you have written confirmation from your employer that he has withdrawn his affidavit in support of your application and that you have lost your job before the actual court hearing but for no other reason.

Note: No refunds for 'Special Licence Applications'.
