Assessment and report
The requested tests depend on your circumstances
An eyesight assessment may include visual acuity and, where the referral or clinical findings call for it, additional testing such as visual-field assessment. The exact test and report requirements are guided by your Medical Review letter and the national fitness-to-drive standards.
Call us with the request details first. We’ll confirm whether the requested assessment can be completed at the practice, whether any additional appointment or testing is needed, and how the report is to be returned.
Your eye health professional provides assessment information. Transport Victoria Medical Review—not the optometrist—decides your fitness to drive and any licence conditions.
What happens next
Follow the instructions from Medical Review
Transport Victoria asks drivers and their eye health professionals to use the eyesight-report process when a report is requested. The agency reviews the submitted information against national medical standards and may ask for more information.
Follow the due date and submission instructions in your letter. If the letter is unclear, contact Medical Review directly. An eyesight assessment does not itself renew, suspend or change a driver licence.

Fees and Medicare
Check the report fee and possible rebate
A fee may apply for an eyesight assessment or report, and Medicare coverage is not automatic. MBS guidance excludes some optometric services associated with fitness tests for vocational activities and compulsory tests for commercial licences. If an appointment also addresses a separate, clinically relevant eye or vision concern, the optometrist must assess whether the consultation meets an eligible MBS item and all its requirements. The report alone does not establish rebate eligibility.
Call before booking to confirm the current fee and ask whether any Medicare benefit may apply to the clinical service requested.
