A court can order removal of licence disqualification on application. If your drivers licence was disqualified in Queensland for a period in excess of two years, you can make an application to get your licence back, subject to certain conditions. This also applies to an absolute drivers licence disqualification.
You must have already served at least two years of the licence disqualification before you make your application. The two year period starts from when the Court disqualified your drivers licence and does not include any prior period where you were suspended due to the operation of a traffic law.
The application is only available if your licence disqualification was imposed by a Court in Queensland. There are rules as to which Court the application is commenced in.
