How to report concerns about other drivers
Medical Review relies on both self-reports from drivers, and reports from relatives, police, health professionals and other members of the public about drivers who may be a road safety risk.
Many drivers who suffer from medical conditions, self-regulate their driving by choosing when and where to drive. However, some may choose to ignore the warning signs and continue driving when they may be a road safety risk.
If this situation occurs and you are genuinely concerned about someone’s ability to drive safely, family and friends should seriously consider making a report to the Medical Review team. Under Victorian law, we must investigate this information. You can remain anonymous.
People making a report in good faith are protected from legal action and the Medical Review team will not divulge the identity of people who make a report without their consent (unless it is required by law).
Your report should contain:
- full name of the driver you have concerns about
- the driver’s date of birth
- the driver’s residential address (including postcode)
- the reasons for your concern.
It helps us if you can provide a driver licence number of the person you are reporting. This is not mandatory.
