Licence Suspension Appeals in NSW

Losing your licence can affect your employment, family responsibilities and ability to get around. In some circumstances, a licence suspension decision made by NSW Police or Transport for NSW may be appealed to the Local Court.

Golottas Solicitors can review your suspension notice, explain whether an appeal is available and advise you about the evidence and time limits that may apply.

We can assist with eligible matters involving:

  • Immediate police licence suspensions
  • Serious speeding suspensions
  • Provisional and learner licence suspensions
  • Certain Transport for NSW suspension decisions
  • Other appealable licence or registration decisions

Strict Time Limits Can Apply

Police suspension appeals generally need to be filed within 28 days. Transport for NSW appeals also have strict filing requirements, and the notice you receive should state whether you have a right of appeal.

If your licence has been suspended, obtaining legal advice early can help you understand whether the decision can be challenged and what steps need to be taken.

FAQs

Can I appeal a licence suspension in NSW?

Some licence suspension decisions can be appealed to the Local Court, including certain NSW Police suspensions and Transport for NSW decisions where a right of appeal applies. Not every suspension is appealable, so the notice you receive should be reviewed carefully.

How long do I have to appeal a licence suspension?

Strict time limits apply. An immediate police suspension generally needs to be appealed within 28 days. For Transport for NSW decisions, the applicable deadline depends on the decision and notice, so it is important to obtain advice promptly.

Do I need a lawyer for a traffic offence?

You are not required to have a lawyer for every traffic matter. However, legal advice can be valuable where your licence, employment or freedom may be affected, or where you are considering defending a charge, making an appeal or appearing in court.

What happens if I drive while suspended or disqualified?

Driving while your licence is suspended or while you are disqualified from driving is a serious offence in NSW and can result in further disqualification, fines and, in some circumstances, imprisonment.

Can a traffic offence result in a criminal conviction?

Yes. Some traffic matters are dealt with as criminal offences and can result in a conviction, depending on the offence and how the court deals with the matter. Serious driving charges can also carry substantial fines, licence consequences and imprisonment.

What happens when a traffic offence goes to court?

The process depends on the charge and whether you intend to plead guilty or not guilty. The court may consider the prosecution evidence, your driving history, your circumstances and any supporting material before determining the matter. A lawyer can advise you about preparation and represent you in court.

Has Your Licence Been Suspended?

A licence suspension can affect your employment, family responsibilities and ability to travel. Strict time limits can apply to some licence suspension appeals, so it is important to get advice early.
