Drink Drive Program

Our education course is the longest-running drink-driver program in Australia, having started in 1973. The course aims to give drivers a better understanding of the risks involved in drinking and driving. This gives the driver a better chance of getting their licence back and, more importantly, a better chance of keeping it.

Courses are 2 x 4 hr sessions over a two week period.

There is a fee for this program.

Drink-Driver assessments are required by law in Victoria prior to relicensing, for all drivers who have been charged with driving Under the Influence, have exceeded a BAL of 0.150, have had a previous Drink-Drive charge in the previous 10 years, or refuse or fail a breath test. An assessment report must be forwarded to the court when the applicant is applying for the restoration of their driver’s licence.

Assessments are conducted on an individual basis. Appointment times are negotiable. A fee applies for this service.

To make an appointment phone to enquire about the Drink-Drive program 61 (03) 9288 2627.
