I’m Ben Hardy, a CASA Designated Aviation Medicine Examiner, colloquially referred to as a DAME. I live and work in Port Macquarie, NSW. My regular job is as an orthopaedic surgeon; I also fix the printers at Holistic Women’s Health.

You’ll soon be able to book your medical examination with me online, as well as arrange any additional tests in preparation for your appointment. I’m also available for clearances if you’re away from your usual DAME, and for general advice. Please contact my reception team to book in.

In the meantime, please familiarise yourself with CASA’s great website, as well as their page regarding specific tests for Class 1 and 3 medicals.
