Can I appeal a licence suspension in Australia?

General information from Lawmateanz

Whether you can appeal a licence suspension depends on your state or territory and the reason for the suspension.

Some suspensions, such as for certain speeding offences, can be appealed to a local or magistrates court within a short time. Others, such as demerit point suspensions, may have limited or no appeal rights.

Lodging an appeal may let you keep driving until it's heard in some states, but not all.

Check the notice for your appeal rights and deadlines, and get legal advice quickly.
