FAQ's

What is an aviation medical certificate, and which one do I need?
An aviation medical certificate is a legal requirement set by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to ensure pilots and air traffic controllers are medically fit to perform their duties. The class of medical certificate you need depends on your licence type and flying intentions:
Class 1 Medical: This is required for commercial pilots (e.g., those with a Commercial Pilot Licence or an Air Transport Pilot Licence).
Class 2 Medical: This is for private pilots (e.g., those with a Private Pilot Licence or a Recreational Pilot Licence).
Class 3 Medical: This is for air traffic controllers.
For students, a Class 2 medical certificate is required before you can fly solo.
What can I expect during my aviation medical examination?
I currently work at Eastgate Medical centre Unit15/49, Great eastern hwy, Rivervale—just 15 minutes from Jandakot and Perth International Airports—Livingston GPs offers convenient, comprehensive, and CASA-compliant aviation medical services.
Our aviation medical assessments include:
- Full medical examination
- Audiometry (hearing test)
- ECG (electrocardiogram)
- Urinalysis and vision assessment
- On-site Pathology specimen collection
- Additional investigations as required by CASA
How long is my aviation medical certificate valid for?
The validity period depends on the class of your certificate and your age:
Class 1 Medical: Valid for one year.
Class 2 Medical: Valid for four years if you are under 40 years of age on the day of the exam. If you are 40 or older, it is valid for two years.
Class 3 Medical: Valid for two years.
What should I bring to my appointment?
To ensure a smooth process, please bring the following to your appointment:
Your Aviation Reference Number (ARN): This is a unique number provided by CASA that identifies you in all dealings. You must obtain this before your appointment.
Photo Identification: A valid driver’s licence or passport.
Any supporting medical information: If you have had any new tests, specialist reports, or changes in medication since your last exam, bring a copy.
Prescription eyewear: If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring them with you, along with your spare pair.
How do I book an appointment and what are the associated costs?
To book your aviation medical, you must first register online with CASA’s Medical Records System (MRS) to get your ARN. Once you have your ARN, you can contact us to schedule an appointment.
The total cost of your medical includes two separate fees:
Our consultation fee: This is paid directly to our clinic at the time of your appointment.
The CASA processing fee: This is a separate fee paid to CASA for the administrative processing of your medical certificate. This can often be paid online through the MRS portal. Additional tests like bloodwork or ECGs may incur separate fees.
