What Is a Pre-Employment Medical?
A pre-employment medical is an occupational health assessment used to assess whether a candidate can safely meet the physical demands of a job.
Employers use these assessments to:
- Minimise the risk of workplace injuries
- Identify health concerns before employment begins
- Ensure compliance with NSW workplace safety regulations, including SIRA pre-employment medical guidelines
- Make informed hiring decisions with clear documentation
The results are provided in a detailed report, helping employers match the right candidate to the job while remaining compliant with health and safety obligations.
💡 Designed for Hiring managers, HR, and Safety teams to assess a worker’s physical and functional capacity before employment.
