The 28 day stand-down period
Court Disqualification
If you are disqualified by the court then there is usually a mandatory 28 day “stand-down” period before the court will hear your Limited Licence application.
However, during this period we can get your application all ready and lodged with the Court so that it can be heard, and your Limited Licence granted, as soon as the 28 day period ends.
Demerit Suspension
The stand down period doesn’t apply to demerit point suspensions meaning that we can lodge your application immediately.
If you think that you have incurred over 100 demerit points contact us immediately and we can have your Work Licence Application ready to lodge as soon as your suspension notice is received.
