Demerit Points on My License

It’s tough to be in that situation, but unfortunately, demerit points don’t disappear just because you change states. When you switch your license from New South Wales to Queensland, your driving history, including any accumulated demerit points, will typically transfer over. This means that you’ll still be subject to the same point limits and risks to your license.

It’s always a good idea to stay informed about the rules and regulations in your new state as well. Wishing you the best of luck!
