Drink & drug driver program

The Victorian Drink and Drug Driver Program comprises of a range of measures including attendance at an 8-hour education course and assessment for alcohol and other drug problems.

Not all offenders are required to attend all of the components of the program, as the circumstances for each offender will vary depending on the charges. However, offenders convicted of a drink or drug-driving offence should note that licence restoration is not automatic, as it is with speeding offences.

Offenders are advised to obtain a directory of Victorian Accredited Driver Education Programs and call one of the various agencies for advice. Copies of the directory are available from most courts, police stations and VicRoads offices.

The drinkdriver/drug driver program lists drink driver and drug driver agencies by location.
