What We Do?
Workforce health,

Occupational Medicine Services
Doctor-led assessment, advice and health surveillance for safety-critical and safety-sensitive roles.
Occupational medicine considers the relationship between health and work. Assessments and advice take account of job demands, workplace exposures and the individual’s health to inform fitness-for-work decisions.
For employers and workers seeking advice about health risks and a person’s capacity to meet the requirements of a role.
Pre-Employment Medicals
Fitness-for-work screening matched to the physical demands and risk category of the role.
A role-specific assessment considers relevant medical history and the health requirements of the proposed work. The assessment scope depends on the role and any applicable industry requirements.
Employers should provide a position description, the role’s physical demands and relevant workplace exposures when arranging an assessment.
