BOOK A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE DRIVER MEDICAL FOR AN EMPLOYEE

Commercial Vehicle Driver Medicals are for drivers of trucks, public passenger vehicles, and vehicles carrying dangerous goods. Commercial Vehicle Drivers must meet higher medical standards because of the demands of their work.

The National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme was introduced in 2008 to support improved safety for commercial vehicle drivers in the heavy vehicle industry. Under the scheme, standards are set for various aspects of heavy vehicle operations.

All Rideshare companies require a commercial vehicle driver medical.

Assessing Fitness to Drive, a joint publication of Austroads and the National Transport Commission (NTC), details the medical standards for driver licensing for use by health professionals. For more information, visit the Austroads website. The standards and medical requirements vary from state to state.

FITNESS TO DRIVE ASSESSMENTS

The Basic Fatigue Management and Advanced Fatigue Management standards require that drivers undergo regular health assessments to make sure they meet the medical criteria for commercial vehicle drivers contained in Assessing Fitness to Drive, with a particular focus on aspects such as sleep disorders, substance abuse etc. Assessments must be carried out three yearly for drivers below the age of 50 and yearly for those 50 and over.

In addition to health assessments, the standard also sets out a range of measures to support drivers’ health. To comply with the standards, heavy vehicle operators must ensure drivers attend for assessments and are certified fit to drive. The Assessing Fitness to Drive standards are also the basis of health assessments conducted under the Australian Trucking Association TruckSafe scheme.

Are you available for an appointment tomorrow (not including weekends) if there is availability at your preferred location?

YesNo

Jobfit performs all drug and alcohol testing according to the relevant Australian & New Zealand Standard (urinary drug testing to Australian Standard AS/NZS 4308:2008 and oral fluid drug testing to Australian Standard AS/NZS 4760:2019). In the event that an instant drug test or laboratory drug test is non-negative, it is mandatory under the Australian Standards for the sample to undergo further confirmation testing within a NATA accredited laboratory before a final result is issued. This further confirmation testing will incur an additional cost, and is not included in the cost of the medical. Payment of the additional fee will be required before the medical results can be released.

I acknowledge that in the event of a non-negative drug test result, I will be required to pay an additional fee of $174.90 (incl GST) for mandatory GCMS confirmation testing before the medical result is released.
