Do you work with people who have lost their driver licence? Losing a driver licence can have a big impact on individuals and families, particularly those who live in regional and rural areas.
Did you know that some drivers can now apply to have their driver disqualification periods removed?
In this podcast we discuss:
new laws that offer a second chance for disqualified drivers
who can apply under this new scheme, and
the things you can do to help your clients get back on the road.
  
Referrals and more information
You can find more information about the new laws and how to apply to get your licence back:
in the Legal Aid NSW brochure called Are you disqualified from driving?
on the Legal Aid NSW website
in the Representing Yourself section of the LawAccess NSW website.
