Am I eligible for drug diversion in QLD?

In Queensland, the police and courts recognize that criminalizing minor, personal drug use is often not the best approach.

If you are caught with a small amount of an illicit substance (like cannabis, MDMA, or cocaine) and you have no prior drug-related convictions, you may be eligible to be diverted to a Drug Diversion Assessment Program.

Completing this program involves attending an educational and counselling session. Crucially, if you successfully complete the program, no criminal conviction will be recorded against your name. This is vital for your future employment and travel prospects. Contact our team to find out if we can negotiate a diversion for your charge.
