If you are applying for or renewing your driver's license and need a medical assessment, our practices offer quick and professional evaluations to help you meet the requirements set by Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) .
Recent legislation changes now allow a range of healthcare professionals to perform Driver’s License Medical Certificates (DL9). Now you can book your appointment with a registered nurse, or with a doctor or nurse practitioner.
This change improves accessibility for patients by reducing wait times for an appointment and offering more flexibility in booking times.
A Driver’s License medical covers a range of clinical checks, to ensure that you are medically fit to drive. These tests help to identify any physical or mental conditions that could impact your ability behind the wheel. These assessments are important for everyone’s safety on the road.
Measurement and assessment of blood pressure to see whether you may be at risk of having a medical event while driving, for example if you have high blood pressure. If it was identified that your blood pressure was high, there are several medications available to reduce any risk. Have a chat to your clinician if you have any questions or concerns.
Evaluation of eyesight to ensure you meet the visual standards required for safe driving.
Check physical mobility, coordination, and strength to confirm you're able to operate vehicle controls and perform necessary movements.
Screening for memory, attention, and processing speed to ensure you’re making safe driving decisions.
Review of existing or past medical conditions and medications that may affect driving ability.
Your Driver’s License medical assessment (DL9) is valid for 60 days and must be submitted within that timeframe. Your medical centre will submit it to NZTA on your behalf.
NZTA will then determine whether you are medically fit to drive, or whether criteria need to be added to your Driver’s License.
If NZTA requires additional information, they may contact your medical centre.
