Licence & Insurance Requirements
Queensland Transport must approve modifications to vehicles. Providing the modifications meet all requirements, a modification certificate and compliance plate will be issued and the cost of the permit may be waived for drivers with disabilities.

Drivers of the modified vehicles must have their Driver's Licence endorsed with a conditional code stating the necessary vehicle modification needed by the driver with a disability. In order for the licence to be endorsed, the applicant must bring a letter of medical clearance from a medical practitioner.

It is recommended that people considering use of an alternative driving control undergo assessment with a driver trained occupational therapist. For relevant contact details please contact LifeTec Queensland or Occupational Therapy Association of Queensland.

To ensure Insurance cover, the vehicle owner should advise their Insurance company of the approved vehicle modifications, and the endorsed Driver's Licence where the modifications are for the driver with a disability.
