Medicals & Assessments

A number of GPs at SmartClinics have undergone training that allows them to conduct driver’s license medicals, pre-employment medicals, dive medicals and aviation medicals, as explained further below.

Driver’s licence medicals 

Driving a motor vehicle is a complex task requiring perception, good judgement, responsiveness and reasonable physical capability. Your health and fitness level, therefore, directly impacts your safety, as well as others, when driving on the road.

All drivers must meet a specific medical standard to ensure their health status does not unduly increase their crash risk.

The doctors at SmartClinics are sometimes required to assess a patient’s fitness to drive as a range of medical conditions, as well as treatments, can impair your driving ability. Common examples include:

  • Blackouts
  • Sleep disorders
  • Vision problems
  • Diabetes
  • Epilepsy and seizures
  • Psychiatric disorders
  • Heart disease

Your doctor may make recommendations to the Driver’s Licensing Authority about a conditional licence which means that you may continue to drive under certain conditions, such as during daylight hours or wearing glasses. If you are issued a conditional licence, it is your responsibility to comply with any driving restrictions or other conditions, and it is to be reviewed by your doctor as required.

Pre-employment medicals

In specific roles, employers require their employees to undertake a medical assessment before starting work to ensure that they are fit to work in a specific environment and under certain conditions. All SmartClinics Medical Centres offer tailored Pre-Employment Medical Examinations that provide a baseline health assessment for employees.

Dive medicals

We offer two types of Diving Medical Examinations – Recreational and Commercial. In addition to completing a medical questionnaire, the patient will typically undergo a hearing and eyesight test, urine test, lung function test, blood pressure check and height and weight measurements.

Aviation medicals

A number of GPs at SmartClinics are Australian Designated Aviation Medical Examiners (DAME) who can issue aviation medical certificates. Assessments are conducted via appointment only and must be booked in advance. Click here for more information and doctor details.
