Queensland
In Queensland, specific requirements apply to medical exemptions from seatbelt rules and challenging a fine.
Before travel
- Ask a doctor to complete the Queensland seatbelt exemption certificate.
- The certificate must state that the person cannot wear a seatbelt because of a medical condition or disability. It is valid for up to 12 months and can be used in all vehicles the person travels in.
- Register it with Transport and Main Roads online, by email, by post or at a Transport and Motoring Service Centre.
- Carry the certificate when travelling.
- Renew the certificate before it expires.
If fined
Submit a camera-detected infringement enquiry by the deadline on the notice. Include the medical certificate and relevant supporting documents.
If there was no current certificate, Queensland may consider a signed doctor’s letter stating that the person should not have worn a seatbelt because of their condition or disability at the time of the offence.
