GeoSurfer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi guys, I'm switching over my UK license and getting a QLD one. I need to prove I'm fit to drive as I have a permanent eye condition in one eye which means I need to fill out form F3712 Medical Certificate for Motor Driver. This has three sections, one for me, one for my treating doctor and one for a specialist/optometrist if needed. I don't currently have a GP, is this something I will have to go private for? I have registered for Medicare but not sure it's gone through yet due to the woman at the office telling me she thought she had done it wrong and I may not be covered. Additionally, I have a letter from my UK eye specialist stating I am safe to drive, but I am 99% certain the people at the licensing place won't accept this and will demand I go to an Aussie doctor to repeat the exact same thing and fill out the forms they love so much! Anyone else had any experience doing this? I'm in Brisbane, some walk in doctors place would be ideal, I'm fine with paying. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Just go and see any GP, you don't even need to wait for your Medicare Card if they gave you a temporary one with your number on it. You will 'possibly' be sent private for the Specialist though and it will probably be a lot quicker than waiting to see a private one, but speak to your GP as they should know what you need to do/ who to see in those circumstances.
