Behaviour Change Programs
Behaviour Change Programs
The Victorian Government introduced Behaviour Change Programs as the best measure of reducing drink driving in Victoria. New laws became effective from 30 April 2018. Aussie Drink Drive is a VicRoads accredited provider of Behaviour Change Programs. Our programs are offered throughout the Melbourne metropolitan, as well as regional Geelong.
What are Behaviour Change Programs?
Behaviour Change programs focus on effective ways to manage drinking and drug use, raise awareness of consequences, risk taking, impulsivity and identify positive solutions to separate drinking and drug use from driving.
Participants are taken through a variety of interactive activities and will also complete a workbook. Screening and an assessment is undertaken within the program and where appropriate a referral to alcohol and other drug services may be required. Intensive programs include an individual one on one session to discuss personal goals, substance use and readiness for treatment.
Which Program should I do – Behaviour Change Program or Intensive?
After an offence VicRoads will send you a letter that has important information about enrolling in the right program. It is important that you have your letter when booking. There are three programs:
Behavior Change Program
Drug Drive Program
Intensive Program
You may complete our program if this is your first Drug or Drink Drive offence and your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) was 0.149% and under.
If you are uncertain please contact VicRoads.
How Do I get My Licence Back?
