Ultimately the referring doctor is responsible for providing medical clearance to Queensland Transport and therefore must support the referral to an OT. |\n| Drivers Licence from Queensland Transport and Main Roads | To complete an OT driving assessment the participant needs a current drivers licence, this can be either a learners permit or open licence. If the participant does not have a licence, the referring doctor can support the licence application by filling in the Qld Transport Medical Certificate for Motor Vehicle Driver (Form 3712) and stating “For the purposes of Occupational Therapy Driving Assessment / Training only”.\u003Cbr>For participants who may have difficulty obtaining a learners permit, a three day course is available to help them achieve this-contact us for more information. |\n| Vision | Participant informed computerised perimetry assessment / visual acuity and visual field testing by Optometrist/ophthalmology is required for all Occupational Therapy Driving Assessments.\u003Cbr>This is a vision test from an Optometrist/ophthalmologist with the goal of vision assessment for driving. |\n| Neuropsychologist | For some participants with cognitive issues, a neuropsychologist may complete an assessment to determine suitability for driving. |\n| Occupational Therapy Assessment | Once the medical referral and visual assessment (and neuropsychological assessment if relevant) is completed the OT can complete the Off and On-road Driving assessment. The OT will then write a report of recommendations, detailing the medical conditions impacting the participants driving abilities and list vehicle modifications that may be required to return to safe operation.\u003Cbr>If Driver Training is required, this will be detailed in the recommendations. The OT will specify if they would like to re-assess the person, towards the end of the driving program. All reports are sent to the treating doctor. The doctor must sign a Qld Transport Medical Certificate for Motor Vehicle Driver (Form 3712) for the person to commence driving. |\n| Driving Lessons / Driver Training | The driver trainer can commence lessons to practice the skills the person requires to become adriver. |\n| Queensland Transport Testing | If the participant has their Learners Licence, they will need to be tested by the Licencing Authority (Queensland Transport and Main Roads) to obtain their Provisional Licence. |\n| Medical Approval for Driving | All participants need to supply a Medical Approval using the Qld Transport Medical Certificate for Motor Vehicle Driver (Form 3712) – specifying they are permitted to drive and detailing any conditions or vehicle modifications. |\n\nAlliance Rehabilitation is a collaboration of experienced health professionals providing quality, effective, efficient, and safe goal orientated rehabilitation programs in North Queensland.  \nHEAD OFFICE TOWNSVILLE  \n139 Boundary St,  \nRailway Estate QLD 4810  \n􀀟 07 4772 1219  \n􀀞 07 4771 6971  \n􀀝 [info@alliancerehab.com.au](info@alliancerehab.com.au)  \n [www.allian](www.alliancerehab.com.au)[ce](www.alliancerehab.com.au)[re](www.alliancerehab.com.au)[ha](www.alliancerehab.com.au)[b.com.au](www.alliancerehab.com.au)","cbCaiqhnGnq2KemB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqhnGnq2KemB","pdf",260957,"English","# Steps for Driving Goals Identified by NDIS Participants\n## Medical referral\n## Driver’s licence from Queensland Transport and Main Roads\n## Vision assessment\n## Neuropsychologist assessment (if relevant)\n## Occupational therapy assessment\n## Driving lessons / driver training\n## Queensland Transport testing\n## Medical approval for driving","[{\"question\":\"What referral is required before an OT driving assessment can begin?\",\"answer\":\"A doctor’s referral is required to complete a Driving Assessment with an Occupational Therapist, and the referring doctor provides medical clearance to Queensland Transport via support of the referral to the OT.\"},{\"question\":\"What assessments are required for occupational therapy driving assessments?\",\"answer\":\"A participant must complete vision testing, including computerized perimetry and visual acuity/visual field testing by an optometrist or ophthalmologist.
