Find an occupational therapy driver assessor
On this page, you'll find a list of Victorian occupational therapy driver assessors, how to use it and information on costs and charges.
Before you start, read our guide to occupational therapy driver assessment.
Things to know
- You're required to cover the costs of your assessment.
- Occupational therapy driving assessors are independent health practitioners and aren't employees of the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP). Medical Review and DTP does not endorse or approve any of occupational therapists (OT) on this list. The names and contact details are provided for information purposes only.
- To work as OTs, the practitoners included in this list must be registered with Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, also known as Ahpra. You can look them up in Ahpra's register of practitioners.
How to use this list
OTs generally work in specific geographical areas. We strongly recommend choosing an OT who works in your area. Your local hospital or medical centre may also be able to assist you in finding a suitable OT.
If you’ve previously spoken to an OT about a driver assessment, please contact them before contacting an OT you don’t know.
You may have a limited amount of time to complete the driver assessment so you should contact your chosen OT as soon as possible to organise your assessment.

Costs and charges
Costs and charges for an occupational therapy driver assessment can vary, depending on:
- location
- test complexity
- duration
- reassessment requirements.
We don't regulate the fees an OT charges and strongly recommend discussing costs with your assessor before making a booking.
Occupational therapy driver assessments may be partly or fully paid by an insurance scheme or through health services if you meet eligibility criteria.
For example:
- Rehabilitation services available through public/ private hospitals or community health services if you have obtained treatment for a health condition (e.g. stroke, neurological or mental health condition)
- TAC if you were injured in a road accident
- WorkCover if you were injured at work
- Department of Veterans Affairs Health Card recipients may be able to access funding if a vehicle modification is required due to injury incurred during service.
- Private health insurance
- National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
Your GP, medical specialist, the occupational therapy department at your local hospital or health centre, or the Disability/Aged care co-ordinator at your council may be able to help.
Centrelink may offer loan schemes to support funding the cost of driver assessment and rehabilitation. This should be discussed with the OT at the time of booking the assessment.
