If this is your first matter, see our overview of a first-time drink driving charge.

If you also need to keep driving for work in Queensland after a listing in Julia Creek, the DIY DUI Work Licence Program ($440) is a separate prep path from the $330 plea program. Work licences are not available to everyone — suitability depends on your charge, history and circumstances. This is preparation information, not legal advice.
How the DIY DUI Program Prepares a Regional Guilty Plea
The QLD Plea Program is a self-guided preparation system for Queensland Magistrates Court drink and drug driving guilty pleas — including Julia Creek Magistrates Court. The confirmed price is $330 (AUD, one-time, incl. GST) with 180-day access.
Inside the program you work through onboarding questions, a personalised checklist, plain-English offence and process modules, guidance on character references and an apology letter, traffic offender program context, and editable oral and written submission drafts. You remain responsible for accuracy and for what you say in court.
DIY DUI does not appear for you, does not create a solicitor–client relationship, and does not provide personalised recommendations about your plea. It is court preparation information for people who have already decided to plead guilty and want structure instead of improvisation — especially useful when sitting days are infrequent and travel is long.
