Driver Assessment and Rehabilitation Service (DARS)

Provides advice, assessment and training for people wishing to drive following injury or illness or who have a disability.

Driving rehabilitation assists people to regain the confidence and skills needed to drive, while ensuring a person is driving safely and legally. Assessments are aimed at determining the impact of a client's medical conditions on their driving and identify whether car modifications and/or driver training are required.

Assessments provided include either a full off and on road assessment with an occupational therapist or a practical onroad assessment with an accredited driving instructor. Training to drive modified vehicles is available. Recommendations are provided following assessment.
