Health Assessments:
Health Assessments form an overall picture of the health of your staff. Assistance to address any issues that may be evident can then be provided through programs created by our General Practitioners and Allied Health Practitioners.
We offer three different levels of health assessments (as well as pre-employment medical assessments) ranging from 15 minutes to 1 hour, which can include the following:
- Height, weight and waist circumference
- Blood pressure, heart rate
- Cholesterol and heart health
- Glucose levels (screening for Diabetes)
- Body composition scan
- Mental Health assessment
Other areas and tests can be included based on your needs.
Whether it be a pre-employment medical assessment or yearly health assessment, our GP’s and Nurses will review the information and advise on areas of focus for the employee’s age group and areas of their health and wellbeing that may need additional attention.
