About the service
About Specialised Driver Training under the NDIS
Specialised driver training helps participants with disability learn to drive, or return to driving, safely and independently. Delivered by driver-trained occupational therapists and specialised instructors, it covers assessment of fitness to drive, lessons tailored to your needs — often in a modified vehicle — and advice on any vehicle modifications required, such as hand controls or a left-foot accelerator.
It differs from ordinary driving lessons because of the disability-specific assessment and tailored instruction, and it links closely with vehicle modifications since the assessment often determines what adaptations a vehicle needs. Funding generally comes from capacity-building supports, and state licensing requirements also apply. When choosing a provider, look for driver-trained occupational therapists and instructors experienced with your type of disability, access to appropriately modified training vehicles, and a clear approach that coordinates assessment, lessons, and any modifications through to licensing.
