Step by step guide for health professionals

When you've got to medicalreport.vicroads.vic.gov.au:

1. Sign up/Log in

If this is your first time using the online medical report, you'll need to create an account using your name, Ahpra number, DOB, email address and mobile number, which will be used for multi factor authentication (MFA).

After you have created your account, all subsequent log ins will require you to enter your email address, password and MFA token (sent to your mobile).

You won't need to re-enter your Ahpra number or DOB for subsequent log ins, as authentication will be done in the background.

2. Select the appropriate form

  • medical report: for general practitioners and medical specialists, including psychiatrists
  • eyesight report: for ophthalmologists and optometrists.

3. Enter the patient details

Please include the Medical Review case number and your patient reference or licence number (located on top left corner of the Medical Review letter sent to patient).

This matches the report to the correct driver record and pre-populates the form with customer information already known to Medical Review.

If you do not have the patient’s Medical Review letter/details, check the box to advise and complete the patient details manually.

4. Assessment

Please apply the AFTD guidelines to your decision making in the patient’s assessment section.

5. Recommendation

Complete this mandatory section with your recommendation about the patient’s fitness to drive.

6. Submit the report

Once you have reviewed the information you can submit the assessment. You'ill be notified that the assessment has been submitted and a reference number will be automatically generated.

It’s important that the reference number and/ or a PDF copy of the medical assessment report be provided to your patient as this is their reassurance that they have fulfilled their obligations and can be used for any follow up with Medical Review.
