The period that you must be free from seizures before driving depends upon your type of epilepsy and the circumstances surrouncing the seizure. Under some circumstances a restricted licence may be possible. In every case, individual circumstances apply. The above is a summary fo the guidelines for drivng and epilepsy. You may wish to discuss your individual circumstances with your doctor.
All Australian doctors have a copy of the guidelines.
A copy is also kept at the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria. If you hold a current permit or licence and you have a seizure, you should have a thorough neurological examination. Your neurologist can recommend when you can safely begin driving again. If VicRoads refuses to renew your licence or permit on medical grounds, or suspends or cancels it, or if you voluntarily surrender it, you will not regain it until you provide a satisfactory medical report that meets the guidelines. You must answer the questions on the permit or licence application form truthfully.
