Holding a valid driver’s licence is essential for many people in the Gympie region – for work, daily life, and independence. In Queensland, certain drivers are required by law to undergo a medical assessment to confirm their fitness to drive safely. At Gympie Day and Evening Clinic, our GPs conduct driver’s licence medical assessments for both private and commercial vehicle drivers, completed in accordance with the national Austroads Assessing Fitness to Drive (AFTD) standards and Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) requirements.
Our GPs approach driver’s licence medicals with care and impartiality – the goal is to assess your fitness to drive safely and to help you remain on the road for as long as it is safe to do so, with appropriate conditions applied where necessary. Driver’s licence medical assessments are privately billed and are not covered by Medicare. Please call 07 2140 4888 before booking to confirm the requirements of your specific assessment and the current fee schedule.

– Commercial and heavy vehicle licence holders – required when applying for or renewing a commercial driver authorisation in Queensland
– Drivers aged 75 and over – required to submit a commercial vehicle driver medical certificate to Transport and Main Roads annually
