Appeal your licence suspension

Information about how to appeal your licence suspension.

If your licence has been suspended, you may be able to appeal the Local Court.

If your licence was suspended by Transport for NSW (TfNSW), your suspension will be stayed (paused) until the Court hears your appeal. You can continue driving until your appeal is heard.

You should check with TfNSW whether your suspension has been stayed before you start driving again.

If you were suspended on-the-spot by the police, your licence will remain suspended until your appeal is heard.

After the Court hears your appeal, it’s decision will be final. You can’t appeal the Court’s decision. However, if you missed your court date, you may be able to file an annulment application.

If your licence has been suspended or cancelled on medical grounds, you may be able to appeal to the Local Court. For more information, see Appeal your medical suspension.
