Act Wise Driver Program

This trial program is a type of fine diversion. That means, if you are a P1 or P2  driver aged 17–24 and you get a driving fine, you may be temporarily eligible to do an activity instead of paying your fine and accruing demerit points. 

If you recently broke a road rule, police may have given you a flyer about this program.

You can apply for the Act Wise Driver Program if you:

• have a fine:
  • issued between 7 July 2025-31 August 2025
  • issued by NSW Police within an eligible NSW area
  • for not displaying P-plates or speeding not more than 10km/h over the speed limit (speeding fine is for P2 only and does not include school zones)
• hold a current provisional NSW issued P1 or P2 licence
• were aged between 17-24 at the time of the offence
• were driving a car at the time of the offence
• received a letter from Revenue NSW advising you may be eligible to be in this program.

You cannot apply for the Act Wise Driver Program if you:

• received a fine for an offence not listed above
• received 2 or more fines in the same Police stop
• do not hold a current provisional P1 or P2 licence
• committed the offence outside of 7 July 2025 to 31 August 2025
• have already applied for or have completed the program
• have paid or part paid your fine
• have elected to take this fine to court
• have accrued demerit points on your licence.

If you pay the fine or choose to go to court while your application is being looked at or before you finish the activity, you might not be able to stay in the program.

Before starting your application, you will need:

• access to a computer or laptop
  • you may not be able to complete the e-learning course on a mobile phone
• proof of identity documents if setting up MyServiceNSW account for the first time
• your fine details
  • it may take 3 working days, from the time of the offence, for your fine to appear in your MyServiceNSW account
• email address
• mobile phone number. 

Revenue NSW will assess your application during working hours. Your fine will be on hold while your application is being looked at. 

If your application is accepted, you will receive an email within 3 working days. This email will include instructions on how to access the activity. 

The activity is self-paced and will take roughly 1-2 hours to complete. However, there are some rules you need to know: 

• you must complete the activity within 21 days from getting the email that gave your the log in details
• if you do not complete the activity in the 21 days, you will need to pay your fine and demerit points will apply
• if you cannot do the activity within the 21 days, notify us as soon as possible.
