Notification of a medical

You must notify VicRoads if you are
suffering from any serious (permanent
or long-term) illness, disability, medical
condition or injury (or the effects of
treatment for any of those things) that
may impair your ability to drive safely.
You will need to provide a current
medical report from your treating
medical practitioner that states that you
meet the national medical standards for
fitness to drive and provides details of
your medical condition or disability.
Standard medical or eyesight report
forms are available from any VicRoads
Customer Service Centre or by calling
VicRoads. These forms are also
available on VicRoads website.
Replacing a lost or stolen card
Always be careful with your permit and
licence information and keep the card
secure. If your card is lost or stolen
report it to VicRoads immediately and
apply for a replacement. It is important
that you do this as your lost or stolen
card could be used to create
a fraudulent identity.
If you want more information on
preventing and responding to identity
fraud this can be found at
crimeprevention.gov.au.

You must ensure any vehicle you drive
meets relevant air and noise emission
standards. Drivers of offending vehicles
may be fined or taken to court and the
owner may be issued with a notice to
repair the vehicle.

motor vehicles for 30 days if used for
