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're genuinely concerned about someone’s ability to drive safely, you 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 won't divulge your identity as the person who made the report without your consent (unless 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 but this isn't mandatory.
