Medical conditions and fitness to drive

You may be required to undertake an assessment of your fitness to drive depending on:

  • the type of licence you hold
  • your age
  • if you have a medical condition that may affect your ability to drive.

If you have a medical condition that could affect your ability to drive, you must report it to Service SA.

If you're a commercial driver, you'll be assessed prior to the issue of your licence or driver accreditation.

To find out what you need to do, choose from one of the following options.
