Pre-employment medicals
A pre-employment medical assessment gives you a clear picture of a candidate’s baseline health before they start in a role. Our GPs conduct thorough, confidential assessments and provide timely written reports — keeping your hiring process moving without delays.
What’s included in a standard pre-employment medical:
- Detailed health and medical history questionnaire
- Vision and hearing screening (referral provided for hearing assessment)
- Blood pressure and BMI
- Blood tests (where required — fasting may be needed for some roles)
- Urine drug screening (on request)
- Vaccination status review and immunisation catch-up where required
- Written report to the employer or HR team, with candidate consent
If you have an assessment in mind, please email the template with the job description to reception@cbddocs.com.au. We will review the requested information and provide you with a cost estimate.
Please note 2 appointments are required at least 3 days apart. The review appointment requires the serology results to be received by the doctor.
Turnaround: Standard written reports are provided within 24 business hours after the second appointment when test results have been received. Urgent reporting can be arranged — please discuss with our team prior to booking.
Executive health screenings
An executive health screening is a comprehensive, proactive health assessment designed for senior leaders, high-performing professionals, and employees whose health and performance are critical to your organisation. It goes well beyond a standard pre-employment medical.
Our executive health screening includes:
- Comprehensive medical history review
- Full cardiovascular risk assessment (including ECG if indicated)
- Blood panel — full metabolic, lipid, liver, kidney, thyroid, and diabetes screen

- Vision and hearing assessment (referral provided for hearing assessment)
- Personalised health report with prioritised recommendations
- Follow-up GP consultation to discuss results and action plan
Executive health screenings are particularly valued by organisations whose key personnel travel frequently, work in high-stress environments, or whose health directly affects organisational continuity. They also make a compelling addition to a senior executive remuneration package.
Please note 2 appointments are required at least 3 days apart so that the serology results are received by the doctor.
Employee wellness health checks
Annual or biennial employee health checks demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to staff wellbeing, reduce absenteeism, and catch health issues early — before they affect productivity or lead to extended leave.
Our employee wellness health checks can be offered as a standalone benefit or integrated into your broader health and wellbeing program. We can accommodate individual bookings or coordinate group scheduling for teams.
A standard employee wellness check includes:

Fitness for duty assessments
A fitness for duty (FFD) assessment determines whether an employee is medically fit to return to work following illness, injury, or a mental health episode. the GPs provide objective, documented FFD assessments that protect both the employee and the employer.
FFD assessments can be arranged for return-to-work purposes, WorkCover matters, and situations where an employer has reasonable concern about an employee’s capacity to perform their role safely.
Why Melbourne CBD businesses choose CBD Doctors Melbourne
Location: Level 10, 53 Queen Street is within easy walking distance of Melbourne’s major corporate precincts — Collins Street, Bourke Street, William Street, and the broader CBD. Employees can attend an appointment during a lunch break or before or after work without losing significant time.
Availability: We offer most health assessment types. For organisations with tight hiring timelines, this is a significant practical advantage over clinics with longer wait times.
Tailored to your requirements: We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Our practice manager works with HR and people & culture teams to design assessment frameworks that meet the specific requirements of each role type, industry, and organisation.
Confidential and compliant reporting: All assessments are conducted in accordance with Australian privacy legislation. Results are shared with employers only with the written consent of the candidate or employee, and in the format required by your organisation.
Continuity of care: One advantage of using a general practice over a specialist occupational health provider is that employees can establish an ongoing GP relationship at the same clinic. If a health issue is identified during a pre-employment medical, the employee already has a trusted GP who can manage follow-up care.
Multilingual team: The GPs speak English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Serbian, and Croatian — valuable for Melbourne’s diverse corporate workforce.
