About Health Assessments

Tailoring Health Screening to your needs

Our screening program works to identify and educate patients around many common conditions and health risks affecting Australians; including obesity, diabetes, coronary artery disease, lung disease and hearing problems.  The patient leaves the screening with personalised strategies to assist them in maintaining their health whilst minimizing the risk of disease.  Shortly after the doctor consultation a full copy of all tests completed is provided to the employee, accompanied by an individualized report.

The extent of assessment is based on the employee’s age, activity level, smoking, alcohol, previous medical history and their family history. We follow recommendations for health assessments within different age groups, under guidance of Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, Australian Heart Association and Medicare Australia.

Dependent on the industry of employment, the test and assessments carried out during our Health Screenings can be adjusted to suit your employee’s needs.  This is usually discussed and agreed upon during a meeting with our practice principal and practice manager.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • What’s involved with a Pre-Employment Medical?

    The candidate/employee will be provided with a questionnaire, which they will go through in detail with our nurse and doctor. Once this is completed any further identified or required testing will be performed. Certified reporting with all the credentials of our clinic and the consulting practitioner will be provided to the employee or management in a timely manner.

    All records will be kept on file securely and always adhering to minimum privacy and security recommendations adhered to in Australia. We are also able to work in with anyone’s required schedule provided that this is discussed prior to the consultation with our admin staff. In some case the test could be made available while the employee waits.

  • Why are Pre-Employment Medicals necessary?

    Firstly, we all want to be as informed as possible about the health and wellness of our organisation. We want to hire quality staff of high ability, efficiency and minimum overall standard of health. We can all soldier through tough periods and meet deadlines through sickness and adversity, but the health of an organisation is impacted long term if indeed our employees are forced to compromise for periods of time or even regular periods every year.

    Not only do we want to employ healthy people, but we want them to stay healthy and ultimately productive. Lesser sick days, lesser work cover claims and lesser absenteeism will increase productivity by default and protect your organisation. We want them to be met with high OH&S standards and let them know that we want to look after their health.

    Organisational culture is a huge part of this, poor overall mental health is the quiet the productivity killer and if we don’t have our finger on our company pulse on an ongoing basis we can really put undue pressure on everyone. A happy employee that is feeling looked after is an employee that will look after their employer.

    Psychological Assessments, Functional Capacity tests and Executive Health Assessments are all ways to meet best practice standards and give a lift to our organisation.

  • What to expect from your medical assessment?

    Depending on the individual and the role description, we will tailor an assessment for your employee. A questionnaire will be sent to you and this will be gone through in detail with our Practice Nurse and our Doctor to ensure a set of further test is flagged. They will then undergo on the spot and off-site testing within 2-3 hours of their arrival.

    Following up once tests and relevant summaries have arrived to our clinic, we will identify areas which may need addressing or treatment and convey these to your employee with the performance of any follow up testing or examination if something does arise.

    A third session is left as a possibility if there is any further monitoring that has been ordered as a result of the second session. A full report is written up for all interested parties to keep. On request a copy is also sent to the employees General Practitioner to have on file. Our doctors are made available to convey anything queried by their doctor as a measure of courtesy and continuity.

  • What Benefits Do Fitness for Duty Assessments offer?

    Whether it’s to show them you care, minimise your premiums or just learn about your OH&S protocols, a Fit-to-work assessment is a sound plan to any workplace injury. What may seem like a drop in the ocean of expenses is really designed for the benefits of the employee and the employer.
