• Support OTs in assisting drivers and their carers in managing outcomes, including transitioning to non-driving when necessary.
• Align with the national Assessing Fitness to Drive (AFTD) standards.

This project will produce the following main deliverables:
• Professional guideline – National Guidelines for OT Driver Assessors
• Consultation plan and delivery of consultation
