Many offences attract mandatory license loss and judicial officers have the discretion to disqualify or cancel licenses.
VicRoads ordinarily manages the relicensing requirements. Anyone with a suspended, disqualified or cancelled licence must attend VicRoads to be advised of their requirements to be re-licensed.
For those who have had their licence suspended due to alcohol or drug use, there are obligations to complete courses. They then make an application to the court, before a Magistrate, to obtain a licence. This may also include a period of an alcohol interlock.
Further, some people may complete the suspension period but then have demerit point loss of licence come into force. Therefore, it is essential that enquiries are made with VicRoads prior to driving.
