Our Values
Who needs an OT driving assessment?
You may need an OT driving assessment in the Eastern Suburbs (Bondi, Coogee, Maroubra) if a medical condition, injury, or age-related change affects your safe driving.
Your GP, specialist, or RMS often recommends a professional OT assessment, notifying authorities as needed. Family concerns about your driving safety? Our mobile service helps Eastern Suburbs drivers regain confidence legally and independently.
There are two main components of the assessment:
- 1
The Off-Road Test
The OT attends the client’s home and completes a cognitive, visual and physical screen with them. This aims to identify the likely areas that their medical condition affects their driving, and to also identify what vehicle modifications may be suitable. The client’s family may also be present.
- 2
The On Road Assessment
The OT and Driving Instructor (trained in driver rehabilitation) drives around the client’s local area. The client uses the driving instructor’s car equipped with dual controls. The assessment focuses on how the person’s injury or medical diagnosis impacts on their capacity to drive safely.
