Driving licence medical test

Safe driving behind the wheel is a priority for all drivers and passengers in NZ, and getting a driver’s licence medical is a great way to ensure this. Waka Kotahi NZTA requires everyone to submit a medical report for drivers licence renewals or issues. You might need a routine eyesight check, an extra workplace licence or medical certifications for something specific. Regardless, we’re here to help.

We can easily assess your current fitness to drive with a health check-up and vision check for driving.

Please call our Customer Services Team to arrange a Driving Licence medical test time. The MyIndici patient portal doesn’t allow for these bookings.

Do I need a driving licence medical test?

You’ll need a test if you need to apply for or renew:

  • a heavy vehicle class licence
  • an endorsement for passenger, recovery services, driving instruction or testing.
  • a licence for drivers aged 75+.
  • a Driver’s licence certificate for a medical condition that could in any way compromise your ability to operate a vehicle.

Come and see us if Waka Kotahi NZTA has requested you to supply a medical certificate for driver licence application.

Frequently asked questions

To join our clinic, you first need to fill out the patient enrolment forms to register with the PHO that we belong to. This is a Ministry of Health requirement. You will need to provide proof of identity and eligibility which may include the following forms of identification:

  • NZ Passport or NZ birth certificate
  • International passport with resident visa OR work visa of minimum 24-month duration

On the enrolment form you need to indicate which of our doctors (currently taking new patients) that you would like to be registered with.

Yes. As part of completing your enrollment, we request that you have a new patient screening appointment with one of our Nursing or Medical Centre Assistant team members.

This new patient appointment enables our team to work with you to better understand your current health and wellbeing.

Following the new patient appointment as above, you can book your first consultation with your nominated doctor.

All GP appointments are 15 minutes long.

  • One appointment is for a single health issue.
  • Should you wish to have a 30-minute GP appointment, it will be charge at a non-subsidized rate.
  • Depending on your age and health, one of our specialist nursing or pharmacist clinicians may be able to spend more time with you.

If you are a new patient, you will get full access to the patient portal “My Indici” once you have completed your enrolment.

Payment is required at time of consultation. Please note that unpaid accounts will incur an additional $10 monthly administration cost.

There may be additional costs for treatments/tests/materials

We recommend that you book your future appointments via your patient portal My Indici.

If you need an urgent appointment, then please phone the clinic. We have doctors available to discuss your urgent health needs on the day.

All consultations are by appointment only.

Patient portals are secure online sites where patients can access their health information and interact with their general practice. Set up access to your patient portal at or email Info@highbrookmedical.co.nz if you would like help.

We recommend that you plan ahead and request your repeat medicines via your patient portal My Indici two weeks before you run out. If you do not have access to a portal, you can phone us and leave a message with the nurse to organise this. Our doctors use an electronic prescribing system which can send your prescription to your local pharmacy (please specify name and location).
