When you’re charged with drink driving, you need advice that’s accurate, timely, and grounded in real courtroom experience.

Our Principal Lawyer, Brooke Winter, is a former police prosecutor.

What are the Penalties for Drink Driving in Caloundra?

Drink driving offences in Queensland are treated seriously.

The penalties depend on your blood alcohol concentration (BAC), licence type, and whether it’s your first or a repeat offence.

Even a low-range reading can result in losing your licence.

Low-range (0.05–0.10 BAC): Fines, a minimum 3-month disqualification, and no restricted licence for learner or provisional drivers.
Mid-range (0.10–0.15 BAC): Higher fines, up to 18 months disqualification, and a mandatory court appearance.
High-range (0.15+ BAC): Significant fines, licence disqualification up to 3 years, and possible imprisonment.
Repeat offences: Harsher penalties, including longer disqualifications, increased fines, and potential jail time.

A conviction can affect more than just your ability to drive.

It may impact your work, your travel plans, and your personal reputation.

Getting early legal advice gives you the best chance of reducing these consequences and keeping your future on track.

How can we help with your Case?

Being charged with drink driving doesn’t mean you’ll automatically face the maximum penalty.

With the right legal help, we can often minimise the impact on your licence, your record, and your day-to-day life.

Here’s how we can help:

Restricted Licence Applications: If you qualify, we’ll guide you through the process to help you keep driving for work or essential needs.
Case Reviews: We’ll examine the details of your matter and identify anything that may support a reduced penalty.
Court Representation: We’ll appear on your behalf, ensuring your case is presented professionally and strategically.
Reducing Penalties: In some situations, we may be able to shorten disqualification periods, lower fines, or even help you avoid a conviction.

Our focus is on finding the best path forward.

One that balances accountability with fairness and gives you the best possible outcome.
