What participants achieve on completion

Upon completion of the program and meeting all the program requirements, you will be issued with a Certificate of Completion.

The Behaviour Change Program has been developed to help participants explore the reasons behind their drink and/or drug-driving offence, and provide an opportunity to explore the consequences of their offence on themselves and those around them. It also helps to identify the benefits of not re-offending. The program enables participants to develop an action plan to assist them to not drink and or drug drive again. The program also provides referral support for those who have alcohol or drug use concerns.

If you commit a drink driving offence, you will get a letter from VicRoads with information about which BCP you should enrol in. If you have not received a letter or if you’re not sure about which program to complete, contact Driver Relicensing Services on 1300 723 790.
