What Is a Pre Employment Medical?

A pre employment medical is a structured health and functional assessment conducted before a candidate commences employment.

The purpose of a pre-employment medical check is to determine whether a candidate can safely perform the genuine occupational requirements of a role and identify any factors that may increase workplace injury risk.

For employers, pre-employment medicals form an important part of workforce planning, injury prevention and risk management. They help ensure workers are physically capable of performing job tasks while supporting compliance with workplace health and safety obligations.

Drug & Alcohol

Drug and alcohol testing can be incorporated into a pre-employment health check where required by company policy or industry regulations.

Spirometry

Respiratory testing where workers may be exposed to dust, fumes or respiratory hazards.

Audiometry

Vision

Testing visual acuity and other vision requirements relevant to the role.
