Commercial driver medical in Carindale, sorted in one visit.
Book your commercial driver medical in Carindale and have vision, hearing and heart health checked in a single visit. The assessment follows the national Assessing Fitness to Drive standard, and your GP explains the outcome before you leave.
Commercial driver medicals for buses, coaches and dangerous goods
The commercial standard applies to more than just truck drivers. Bus and coach drivers, drivers of public passenger vehicles, dangerous goods drivers and some fleet drivers all need to meet it. These drivers often carry passengers or hazardous loads, so the health requirements are set higher than for private licences.
At Carindale Doctors, your commercial driver medical covers everything the standard requires and any extra forms your employer or licensing authority uses. Many commercial drivers also need periodic reviews, and we’ll remind you when your next medical is due so your licence or accreditation never lapses.
In short: Carindale Doctors provides commercial driver medicals inside Westfield Carindale for bus, coach, public passenger, dangerous goods and heavy vehicle drivers, assessed to the national commercial standard. Your GP explains the outcome before you leave and tracks your next review. Driver medicals are a private service.

The commercial standard is stricter than the private one in several areas:
- Vision: higher requirements for sharpness and field of view.
- Diabetes: closer monitoring, especially with insulin.
- Heart health: longer non-driving periods after some events.

Your GP will explain any part of the standard that applies to you.
