Taxi & rideshare medicals, sorted in one visit.
Medical certificates for taxi, rideshare and other passenger transport driver authorisations, including the Uber medical Carindale drivers rely on, completed on-site by our GPs.
Taxi and rideshare driver medicals
If you drive a taxi, rideshare vehicle or other passenger transport service, you will usually need a medical certificate confirming you meet the required health standard. Our GPs complete these assessments on-site, covering vision, hearing and general health relevant to safely carrying passengers. Whether you drive for Uber, a taxi network or another rideshare platform, we can complete the Uber medical Carindale drivers need before they start or renew their authorisation.
- Medical certificates for taxi and rideshare drivers
- Covers other passenger transport driver authorisations
- Vision, hearing and general health assessed in one visit
- Certificate provided on the day where possible
- Suitable for new applications and renewals
- Fee-for-service, as this is a work-related assessment

During your assessment
Your GP will review your medical history and current medications, check your vision and hearing, and assess your general fitness to drive safely with passengers on board. Bring any glasses or hearing aids you normally use.
Most assessments are straightforward and completed within a single consultation, with the certificate ready before you leave.
Booking your medical
Book a standard consultation and let reception know it is for a taxi or rideshare medical, so the right form and enough time are ready for your visit.
- Bring the correct form for your platform or licensing authority
- Bring photo ID and your Medicare card
- Bring glasses or hearing aids if you use them
- Mention any relevant medical conditions or medications
- Ask reception about the current fee when you book
If you also drive for a living in a different capacity, such as a commercial or heavy vehicle licence, let us know as the requirements may differ.
After your assessment
You will be told the outcome at the end of your appointment, and given a copy of the completed certificate to provide to your platform or licensing authority.
- Certificate provided on the day in most cases
- Any conditions or restrictions explained clearly
- Copy kept with your file for future reference
- Renewal timing set by your platform or authority
If your health changes between renewals, particularly your vision or a new diagnosis, it is worth checking with your GP whether it affects your certification.
- Renewal reminders are worth setting yourself
- The same GP can complete future renewals for continuity
- Contact reception if your platform requests further information
- Routine health checks can be combined with your renewal visit
Driver medicals are one of many services available at Carindale Doctors, so your general health care and your certification needs can be looked after together.
