workplace health assessments

“Australian employers are increasingly using data in their planning for the work health strategy, allowing them to build an evidence base for their commercial and workforce health needs.”


Pre-employment medical assessments are a workforce risk management tool used to assess an individual’s risk factors that may limit their ability to perform a job safely and effectively. Due to the extent of the tests required, we offer your employee to visit our clinic for a thorough assessment with our GP. Our pre-employment medicals are customised to suit the requirements of the job.
