Installation

The product must be installed by an authorised agent.

The RMS requires evidence that the safety standards originally built into the vehicle have been maintained. Therefore, the modifications must be certified by an Engineering Signatory who is recognised by the RMS for this purpose. If the modifications are satisfactory, the signatory will issue an Engineering Certificate which must be presented to the RMS. The RMS maintains a list of Engineering Signatories.

Standards

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. For more information about standards also see

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.

Licence & Insurance Requirements

The Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) guidelines do not allow a person to drive independently with a modified driving control without having completed an RMS Disability Driving Test or alternatively having completed an occupational therapy on road assessment to establish their safety. The modified driving control is then endorsed on the drivers licence. Once the modified driving control is not required the person would need to demonstrate to the RMS that they could drive safely without it, before the endorsement could be removed from their licence. This is done by being retested by a driver trained occupational therapist (see Driving Assessment and Education minor group on this database).
