Fitness to drive assessments are important in supporting safe driving

Commercial Drivers need to have good:

Cognitive ability

Some drivers must complete a fitness to drive assessment to be able to work. For others, it’s highly recommended. The requirements are set out in the national driver medical standards, Assessing Fitness to Drive.

Fitness to drive assessments can also support the management of drivers with health conditions so they can keep driving for as long as it is safe to do so.

The assessment standards have been approved by Commonwealth, State and Territory Transport Ministers. The current edition came into effect on 22 June 2022.
