The assessment will take up to an hour. Have offices in Invercargill, or can come to you by arrangement.

Once we have the results, you will be directed to attend your GP or a Medical Officer for a final assessment. Please consider enrolling with a GP if you have not already.

Once our assessment is completed, a recommendation is made to NZ Transport Association, who will advise you of the final recommendations, which may include attending treatment.
