Thank you heaps i will let my friend knowHi @bird65 ! According to what I found online, there’s no official rule starting 1st August 2025 that requires all people over 60 to have a full medical to drive. In NSW, VIC, and QLD, current requirements only kick in from age 75, when a yearly medical is needed. Some states also require an on-road test from age 85. So far, there’s no confirmed change to lower that age to 60, it sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding. Always best to check directly with your state’s transport department if you get a letter or want to be sure.
Hope this helps clear things up! For more information, you may visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/driver-and-rider-licences/older-drivers-and-riders/assessments. I hope this helps.
Yes, but in Qld from 75 doctor’s clearance every year but usually only eye-test, answer a few memory type questions, and a few other questions and observations then, if in doctor’s medical opinion on any other health issues, you are capable then doctor will sign the form.
