Medicals for employers and job applicants

A pre-employment medical helps an employer understand whether someone can safely carry out the physical demands of a role, and helps the applicant start a new job with a clear picture of their health. Our experienced doctors carry out these assessments at the clinic, with much of the testing done on site.

What we can assess

Pre-employment medicals are often built around the specific job, so the exact assessment can vary. Common components include:

  • A review of medical history
  • Height, weight, blood pressure and body mass index
  • Urine analysis
  • Hearing and vision testing, including colour vision
  • A musculoskeletal assessment
  • An ECG, which checks the heart's rhythm
  • Spirometry, which measures lung capacity
  • Drug and alcohol testing
  • Referral for pathology or radiology, if needed

Pre-employment vaccinations can also be arranged. For the musculoskeletal assessment, we can involve Dr Chris Soo, who is also a qualified physiotherapist.
