Before you proceed

Are you eligible for a Queensland work licence?

The program walks you through a full eligibility check. Here are the key criteria under Section 87 TORUM.

BAC under 0.15

You must have been reading below 0.15 BAC at the time of your offence. High-range readings (0.15+) generally exclude work licence eligibility on a first offence.

Hold an open (full) licence

You must currently hold an open Queensland licence. Provisional (P) licence holders are generally not eligible for a work licence under Section 87.

Genuine work driving need

You must genuinely need to drive as a necessary part of your employment — not just for commuting. An employer affidavit confirming this is required.

Prior driving history

Prior drink driving convictions may affect eligibility. The court has discretion. The program covers how your history affects your application.

Drug driving charges

Work licences are available for some drug driving charges, but eligibility depends on the specific offence. The eligibility check in the program covers this.

Not in a prescribed class

Certain offence categories and circumstances automatically exclude you. The program identifies these exclusions clearly during the eligibility check.

Not sure if you're eligible? The program starts with a full eligibility check before you go any further. If you're not eligible, the program tells you clearly — and your QLD Plea preparation continues regardless. If you're unsure about your specific circumstances, seek independent legal advice from a qualified Queensland lawyer.

The hardest part — made easier

AI-powered affidavit builder

Your affidavits are the most important documents in a work licence application. Here's how the builder works.

Applicant Affidavit

Your personal affidavit sets out your employment circumstances, why your licence is genuinely necessary for your work, the impact of disqualification, and your personal background.

  • Generated from your 16-step onboarding answers
  • Formatted in Arial 12pt as required
  • Unanswered questions automatically omitted
  • Editable draft — you review before use

Employer Affidavit

Your employer's affidavit confirms the genuine work driving requirement. The program generates a draft your employer can review, customise, and sign.

  • Generated from employer details in your onboarding
  • Correctly sets out the work driving requirement
  • Ready for your employer to review and sign
  • Formatted to court requirements

How the AI builder works

Your answers become your affidavits

After completing your 16-step onboarding, the AI builder uses your answers to generate structured, court-formatted drafts of both affidavits. You review and edit each section before printing. The builder produces drafts only — you are responsible for accuracy and truthfulness.

Arial 12pt font as required by court formatting conventions
Section headers and placeholders correctly bolded
Unanswered or irrelevant questions automatically omitted from the output
Multiple generation attempts available — regenerate if you're not satisfied with the draft

FAQ

Common questions about work licences in Queensland

A work licence is an order under Section 87 of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 (TORUM) that allows a disqualified driver to continue driving for the genuine purposes of their employment. It is not a general licence — it is strictly limited to work driving.
Eligibility depends on your BAC reading (generally must be under 0.15), whether you hold an open licence, whether you genuinely need your licence for work, and your prior history. The program begins with a full eligibility check to assess your situation before you go further.
Generally no. Section 87 TORUM excludes drivers whose BAC was 0.15 or above on a first offence from work licence eligibility. If your reading was at or above 0.15, you should seek independent legal advice about your options.
You typically need an applicant's affidavit (setting out your employment and why you need your licence for work) and an employer's affidavit (confirming your employment and the genuine work driving requirement). The AI builder generates drafts of both based on your onboarding answers.
Yes. The QLD Work Licence Program includes everything in the QLD Plea Program — 9-step onboarding, checklist, laws summary, process guide, character references, apology letter guide, traffic offender program guide, and AI plea submissions builder — plus the 5 exclusive work licence modules.
The work licence application must be made at the time of sentencing — it cannot be filed after you have already been disqualified. This is why it is important to prepare early. The program walks you through the timing and filing process.
No — they are drafts. You must review and edit them carefully for accuracy and truthfulness before they are signed and filed. You are responsible for the content of any affidavit you file with the court. Affidavits must be sworn or affirmed before an authorised person before filing.
No. The program is information-only and does not constitute legal advice or create a solicitor–client relationship. Work licence applications can be complex and outcomes are at the court's discretion. If you are unsure about your eligibility or circumstances, seek independent legal advice from a qualified Queensland lawyer.

Don't wait

Your work licence must be applied for at sentencing.

There is no way to apply after you have already been disqualified. The sooner you prepare, the better your chance of a successful application.

A Note on What This Program Is

  • DIY DUI is an information-only educational program. It is not legal advice and does not create a solicitor–client relationship.
  • Work licence applications are made at the court's discretion under Section 87 TORUM. No guarantee of a successful application is made or implied.
  • AI-generated affidavit content is produced as a draft only. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying accuracy before signing and filing any affidavit.
  • Affidavits must be sworn or affirmed before an authorised person (Justice of the Peace, Commissioner for Declarations, or solicitor) before they can be filed with the court.
  • Laws and procedures can change. Verify any legal information with official Queensland government sources.
