What is an OT Driver Assessment

An Occupational Therapy Driver Assessment includes both an off-road and on-road evaluation. We review vision, cognition, and physical ability, then complete a practical drive in real traffic. You’ll receive a written report and clear recommendations.
Final licensing decisions are made by VicRoads.

Our Approach

Person-centred, evidence-based, collaborative with medical and licensing authorities.

Our Values

Safety, clarity, independence, and respect.

Who We See?

An OT Driver Assessment is a structured evaluation completed by an Occupational Therapist Driver Assessor. We review vision, cognition and physical skills off-road, then complete an on-road assessment in real traffic. You receive clear feedback and recommendations—this may include continuing to drive, further training, vehicle adaptations, or planning alternative transport. Licensing decisions remain with the road authority.
