When you need a driver license medical for a car licence
Most car drivers never need a medical. But in Queensland, you may need a driver license medical if you’re 75 or older, if you have a medical condition that could affect safe driving, or if the Department of Transport and Main Roads asks for one. Conditions such as diabetes on insulin, epilepsy, heart disease, sleep disorders, vision problems and some mental health conditions can all affect your licence.
At Carindale Doctors, your GP assesses you against the private vehicle standard in the national Assessing Fitness to Drive guidelines and completes the Queensland medical certificate in the same visit wherever possible. We’ll explain the outcome and any conditions on your licence clearly.
In short: Carindale Doctors provides driver license medicals inside Westfield Carindale for drivers aged 75 and over, people with medical conditions and anyone asked by Transport and Main Roads. We assess you to the national standard and complete the certificate on the day where possible. Driver medicals are a private service.

- Some conditions mean a short period of not driving, such as after a seizure or heart attack.
