Update to the guidelines - 2023

Are you familiar with the National Transport Authority’s new Austroads Fitness to Drive Standards for private and commercial drivers 2023 Edition?

Be prepared and educated on the new driver standards for those with medical conditions such as:

• diabetes mellitus
• sleep apnoea
• cardiac conditions
• musculoskeletal conditions
• neurological conditions
• hearing loss
• psychiatric conditions
• substance misuse, especially medicinal marijuana
• vision and eye disorders to name only a few of the notifiable medical conditions.

Are you familiar with Queensland's Jet's Law and New South Wales' Sophie's Law for driving with medical conditions and mandatory reporting?

Driver fitness education is important for everyone!
