Keeping your driver authorisation medical up to date
Getting driver authorisation is just the start. To keep driving passengers, you’ll need to renew your medical at the intervals set by Transport and Main Roads, which become more frequent as you get older. You may also need an earlier review if your health changes, for example after a new diagnosis, surgery or a change in medication.
At Carindale Doctors, we keep a note of when your next medical is due and complete renewals in one visit. If a health change comes up between medicals, your GP will help you understand whether it affects your authorisation and what to do next, so you can keep working with confidence.
In short: Carindale Doctors completes driver authorisation medicals and renewals inside Westfield Carindale in one visit, with your next due date noted. We help when health changes may affect your authorisation. Same-day bookings are available, and driver medicals are a private service.
