Standards
Some assistive technology needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. Products that meet Australian or international standards will have written certification. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards ask the supplier to show you the certificate.

Licence and Insurance Requirements
The ACT Road Transport Authority guidelines do not allow a person to drive using a modified driving control until they have passed a disability driving test. The test must be done in a modified vehicle with the required attachments. If a licence is granted, the licence must state all special conditions (if any) that are legally required to be used by the applicant, including any special fittings and modifications required in the vehicle to enable them to drive safely.

(For further information on ACT Road Transport Requirements, see the Driving and Licensing Regulations minor group in the Transport section).
