Drug Driver Program Victoria
Losing your licence is stressful. Navigating what comes next doesn't have to be. At Drink Drive Victoria, we offer the VicRoads-approved drug driver program you need to get back on the road. Delivered by accredited Drug and Alcohol Professionals who are here to support you without judgement, every step of the way.
Who This Program Is For
The Drug Behaviour Change Program is for first-time drug driving offenders who have returned a positive roadside drug test. If you've received a relicensing letter from VicRoads instructing you to complete a drug driving course in Victoria, this is the program you need.
Not sure which program applies to you? Check your VicRoads letter carefully. It will specify the exact program required. If you don't have your letter yet, contact us on 1300 123 723 and we'll help you get the right information before you book.
If your offence involved alcohol or you are a repeat offender, you may need to complete our intensive drink driving course instead. You can also explore the full range of VicRoads behaviour change programs we offer.
What the Drug Driving Course Includes
The drug driving behaviour change program is a 6-hour group program delivered across two sessions, held one week apart (3 hours per session). Participant handbooks are provided, so all you need to bring is ID.
Sessions cover:
-
The effects of drugs on driving ability and reaction time
-
Understanding the legal and personal consequences of drug driving offences
-
Strategies to support safer decision-making around drug use and driving
-
Reflection on personal circumstances and individual risk factors
The drug behaviour change program is approved by VicRoads under the Road Safety Act 1986 and is facilitated exclusively by accredited Drug and Alcohol Professionals.
How It Helps
The drug driving program is designed to support reflection and behaviour change. Our experienced facilitators create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can engage honestly with the material and leave with practical insights that make a real difference.
We understand this is a difficult time. Many of our participants feel anxious before their first session, but by the end, most describe the experience as far more supportive and worthwhile than they expected.
Online and In-Person Attendance: What to Expect
If you've been searching for a drug driving course online, it's worth understanding how VicRoads-approved programs are structured before you book.
The drug driving behaviour change program is a group-based program that requires in-person attendance. The program is built around facilitated group discussion, peer reflection, and direct engagement with an accredited Drug and Alcohol Professional. That face-to-face environment is a core part of what makes the program effective.
Online delivery is only available in specific, approved circumstances. These exceptions are assessed on a case-by-case basis and must be approved before your program commences. Online participation is not available simply as a matter of preference or convenience.
If you believe you may qualify for a drug driving course in Victoria online, contact us before booking and we'll help determine whether an exemption applies to your situation.
Next Steps to Getting Your Licence Back
Completing your VicRoads drug driving course is a key step in the relicensing process, but it's usually part of a broader pathway. Depending on your situation, you may also need to:
-
Submit a licence eligibility order application to the Magistrates Court
-
Obtain a licence eligibility order Victoria assessment report
If you also need to complete a drink-driving program, we offer a drink-driving course. Our team can help you understand what's required for your specific situation.
