Drink and Drug Drive Behaviour Change Program

The Alfred Drink and Drug Driver Behaviour Change Program is a program approved by VicRoads under the Road Safety Act 1986 and is one of a number of providers approved by VicRoads to deliver Drink and Drug Driver Behaviour Change Programs. The goal of the Alfred DD BCP is to support participants to reduce the risk of re-offending once you have your licence back.
