Can I drive? A 10-second state check
Pick where you'll be driving. You get the current position for that jurisdiction and a link to the full page — offence, defences, penalties, reform status and sources.
Remember: this checks the law on presence. Driving while impaired by any medication is an offence everywhere, always. And if you're driving interstate, the law of the state you're in applies — see the interstate driving guide.
Not legal advice. This page explains the law in general terms as at the “last verified” date shown. If you have been charged, or need to make a decision that depends on the law, speak to a lawyer — small differences in circumstances change outcomes. Driving while impaired by any substance, including prescribed medication, is illegal in every Australian state and territory.
