LICENCE REQUIREMENTS WITH SLEEP APNOEA

Everything you need to know about how Sleep Apnoea affects your drivers licence. 

When you receive a letter from the RMS via mail requesting a Specialist Review for your Sleep Apnoea, we'll need the following documents before scheduling an appointment:

  1. Referral from your GP requesting a Telehealth Appointment for a License Review

  2. Downloaded report from your current sleep device.*

The Specialist requires the following criteria to sign off on a driver's license when you're using your CPAP machine:

  • A minimum of 60 days' usage (preferably 90 days)

  • 90% of usage should exceed 5 hours per night

  • Minimal leakage

  • Apnoea Hypopnea Index must be below 5 events per hour

Once we have both these forms, we'll forward them to our Specialist, who will then reach out to you to arrange an appointment.
