High Level
Assessment
Just when you thought driving was no longer an option…new technology makes possibilities endless!
Total Ability have introduced 5 high level assessment vehicles in Australia. One dedicated to each major State (NSW/ACT, VIC, QLD, SA/TAS and WA). The VW Transporters fitted with the latest driving controls from Fadiel Italiana can interchange controls as needed for the user. The wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAV) have been developed for use by Specialist Driving Instructors and Driver Trained Occupational Therapists to assess their clients’ capabilities and equipment needs.
To accommodate ‘drive from wheelchair’ the driver seat is removable to allow for a power wheelchair to be placed in the driver position. The vehicles provide an example of the various driving solutions available. It also provides a valuable assessment tool for those wanting to know how it feels to drive from a power wheelchair with docking station.

Each van is fitted with the following controls:
The process to access a van in your local area:
Contact Total Ability on 1300 858 410 or complete the online form
When you contact us, we will put you in touch with a Driver Trained OT who is experienced with High Level Modifications and works closely with our High Level Driving Instructor in your State. They will coordinate the booking of the van with us and get your assessment under way.
If you are in a regional area, the process is the same, you may need to allow more time for the van to be available and booked to come to your local area. Your Driver Trained OT will coordinate this with us and then once assessed, you will coordinate with the Driving Instructor to conduct driving lessons.
