Taxi driver medicals for new and experienced drivers
Taxi driving is a career for many people, and some drivers have held their driver authorisation for decades. Whether you’re applying for the first time or renewing after many years behind the wheel, a taxi driver medical at Carindale Doctors confirms you still meet the commercial fitness-to-drive standard.
For experienced drivers, medical requirements often become more frequent with age, and long shifts can affect health over time. Your GP checks vision, hearing, blood pressure, heart health and any conditions, and completes your certificate on-site. If something needs attention, we’ll help you manage it so you can keep driving safely.
In short: Carindale Doctors completes taxi driver medicals inside Westfield Carindale for new applicants and experienced drivers renewing their driver authorisation. Certificates are completed on-site, and same-day appointments are available. Driver medicals are a private service.
