The Assessment Process

Occupational Therapy driving assessment in Penrith takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to complete. The OT attends your residence and completes an Off-road component (also called a clinical assessment). The driving instructor also attends your home and is involved in the On-road driving assessment, where the client drives a dual controlled car (with modifications or driving aids as necessary) around their local community. The assessment looks at the impact (if any) that your medical condition has on your driving capacity.

Possible outcomes include:

  • Your Content Goes Here
  • maintaining your licence status
  • completing driver rehabilitation lessons
  • requiring specific vehicle modifications or driving aids
  • temporary suspension of your licence (during medical recovery); or
  • cancellation of your licence.

The OT will then send the final report to you, your doctor (or referral source/service) and the RMS.
