Driving and your health
Our Driving and your health fact sheet tells you all about health and driving including the main health conditions that may affect fitness to drive and your licensing responsibilities. It also includes information what to do if you're worried about another person's fitness to drive.
Orthokeratology
The 2022 edition of Assessing Fitness to Drive includes information about how orthokeratology therapy can be used to meet the visual acuity standards. This fact sheet explains orthokeratology and the important things to consider for safe driving.
Managing driving with a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device
While many people who live with CRM devices are able to continue to hold a licence and return to driving, Assessing Fitness to Drive outlines important guidelines to support safety of drivers and the public alike.
Older drivers
While advanced age in itself is not a barrier to safe driving, age-related physical and mental changes will eventually affect a person’s ability to drive safely. Given the association between health outcomes, mobility and social connectedness, fitness to drive should be proactively managed, with the goal of enabling older people to continue to drive for as long as it is safe to do so.
A wide range of resources are available to support older drivers who have a medical condition that may affect their driving.
