Understanding the Victoria Alcohol Interlock Program

The Victoria Alcohol Interlock Program requires certain drivers convicted of drink driving offences to install an approved alcohol interlock device in their vehicle. This program is designed to improve road safety by preventing a vehicle from starting if alcohol is detected on the driver’s breath.

If you’ve been directed by VicRoads or a court to participate, installation of an interlock device is a mandatory step before you can regain or maintain your licence.

Vehicles We Can Install Interlock Devices In

Alcohol interlock devices can be installed in a wide range of vehicles, including:

Passenger vehicles (cars, utes, vans)
Light commercial vehicles
Motorcycles (where compatible devices are approved)

What Happens During Your Appointment

During your installation appointment, our technicians will fit the interlock device to your vehicle’s ignition system and test it to ensure it is working correctly. You’ll be guided through how to provide breath samples, understand alerts, and follow program requirements. We’ll also answer any questions so you feel confident using the system.

Timeframe & Preparation

Most installations are completed within 1–3 hours, depending on the vehicle type.

To prepare for your appointment:

Bring valid identification and any required documentation

Why Authorised Installation Matters

Using an authorised installer is essential to ensure your device meets all Victorian compliance requirements. Incorrect installation can lead to faults, non-compliance, or delays in your program.

FAQs

Yes, an alcohol interlock device can be installed in a vehicle that is not registered in your name. However, you must have permission from the registered owner, and the vehicle must be approved for use under your interlock condition.

Yes, other people can drive your vehicle, but they will need to use the interlock device and provide a breath sample to start the car. They must follow all instructions provided by the device while driving.

If another driver fails a breath test, it will be recorded by the device. While it may not directly count as your violation, it can still be reviewed as part of your interlock program. It’s important to ensure anyone driving your vehicle understands how the system works and complies with the requirements.

Installation typically takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on the type of vehicle and the specific interlock system being fitted.

Interlock devices can be installed in most vehicles, including cars and light commercial vehicles. Some motorcycles and specialty vehicles may also be compatible, but it depends on the make and model. A quick assessment can confirm suitability.
