OTAUS Driving Assessments

What is Occupational Therapy Australia (OTAUS) 

 Occupational Therapy Australia (OTAUS) is Australia’s leading national association for Occupational Therapists (OT). It provides supervision, ongoing educational support, continuing professional development (CPD) assistance and monitoring, and workshops for qualified Occupational Therapists. On top of providing Occupational Therapists with continuous support as they manoeuvre through their careers, it is also a good resource for patients and consumers who are looking for OT services, as they also provide information to the general public regarding Occupational Therapy assessments and interventions. They are contactable via phone, email and the internet.

Why Choose AHPRA-Registered Driver Trained OTs

AHPRA-registered Occupational Therapists ensure qualified, approved OT driving assessments meeting Australian health standards. Verify credentials or report issues via AHPRA, the national regulator for health professionals.​

NSW drivers must notify Service NSW (formerly RMS) of medical conditions, injuries, or disabilities affecting safe driving. GPs or specialists often recommend an OT driving assessment on the fitness-to-drive form when concerns arise about driving capacity.

 Occupational Therapy Australia has a list of qualified Driver Trained Occupational Therapists that can be contacted to conduct Occupational Therapy Driving Assessments. This allows the individual to select and contact an OT that operates close to the person’s residence to complete the driving assessment.
