The revised national driver medical standards Assessing Fitness to Drive are now live on the Austroads website.

As from Wednesday 22 June 2022, all licensing decisions made in relation to medical conditions and disabilities will be made using these standards. Health professionals conducting fitness to drive assessments and providing advice to drivers will also be expected to refer to the new edition.

The redeveloped Austroads website is also now live, offering ready access to the new standards and practical information to support health professionals, drivers and industry. The user-friendly searchable html format includes alerts to highlight the recent changes to the standards as well as links to consumer information.
