Medical Suspensions:
What is a medical suspension?
A medical suspension is applied to the licence of any rider who has been injured whilst competing in a Motorcycling Northern Territory permitted event that results in them directly (i.e. in an Ambulance from the track) or indirectly (i.e. by private car as known by the Event Steward, Clark of Course or Secretary, even post event) attending hospital for injury treatment requires a Medical Clearance from a State Registered Medical Practitioner. Furthermore, MNT reserves the right to request a Medical Clearance on any rider they deem necessary after an incident, even if the rider doesn’t go directly to hospital on the day (i.e: refusal).
How do I know if I have a medical suspension?
If you have had a medical suspension placed against your licence you will have been sent an email to your nominated emails address on the Ridernet system informing you of this suspension.
Alternatively you can log into Ridernet head to the ‘My licence’ tab and look under the ‘Suspension’ heading to see if you currently have any active suspensions.
How do I get a medical suspension lifted?
Getting a suspension lifted is easy!
Step 1 – Go to your health care practitioner and obtain a medical certificate that states that you are ‘able to commence motorcycling activity’ and has the medical practitioner’s provider number stated on the certificate
Step 2 – Log into Ridernet
Step 3 – Open the ‘My Licence’ Tab
Step 4 – Under the Suspension heading where your current medical suspension is listed click the ‘upload clearance’ button, upload your document and submit
Step 5 – Your clearance has been sent to Motorcycling Northern Territory for approval. Suspension Approvals are completed every Thursday.
Note: If you are participating in an event and you are concerned that your medical clearance will not be approved in time. Please take your medical certificate to the event. The MA Steward may assist you in participating in the event. However, you must still follow the above steps to have it removed from your profile.
Concussion Suspensions:
What is a Concussion?
Concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by biomechanical forces, and the risks of motorcycle sport makes it of critical importance. It can be caused by any force from a minor ‘knock’ to a heavy and severe impact, and can significantly affect an individual’s health, performance and overall quality of life.
In motorcycle sport, concussion can occur while you are wearing a helmet or even in low-speed crashes.
Symptoms of concussion include mild headaches, tiredness, physical, cognitive and emotional disruption, reduced concentration, nausea, memory difficulties, irritability, dizziness and/or balance problems
