To arrange a Fitness to Drive assessment you need to:
book an appointment with your doctor before the due date
take the letter from Transport for NSW (if provided) to your appointment.
Medicare may help in covering the cost of an age or health-related medical assessment.
Late assessments and due date extensions
If your assessment is late, we may suspend your driver licence.
In some circumstances we allow date extensions. This is decided on a case-by-case basis. You need to prove you've arranged to book an appointment well before the due date.
This applies even if the appointment can't be made until after the due date.
We can't issue an extension if you've reached the due date and/or received a suspension notice.
