Good Behaviour Licence NSW: Complete Guide

A good behaviour licence allows a person who receives 13 demerit points (or 14 in the case of a professional driver) to elect to undergo a period of good behaviour for 12 months. That power comes from Section 36 of the Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW).

You are eligible for a good behaviour licence if:

• your suspension letter states you can apply for the good behaviour period;
• the suspension period has not started;
• you hold at least one unrestricted NSW Driver's Licence.

You are not eligible for a good behaviour licence if:

• your suspension letter does not mention the good behaviour period;
• your suspension period has already commenced;
• you only hold a provisional or learner licence.
