Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is involved in a pre-employment medical assessment?

    A pre-employment medical assessment is a comprehensive medical check-up that is conducted before you begin a new job. 


    This assessment is typically required by employers to ensure that you are medically fit to perform the job you have applied for. The purpose of the assessment is to identify any medical conditions or physical limitations that may affect your ability to perform your job safely and effectively.


    During the assessment, a range of tests may be conducted to evaluate your overall health, fitness, and medical history. This may include taking a medical history, performing a pre-employment physical assessment, conducting blood tests, urine analysis, hearing tests, spirometry tests, lung function tests, and musculoskeletal assessments. 


    Additional tests may be required based on the nature of the job you have applied for. For example, if you are applying for a job in the aviation industry, you may be required to undergo aviation medicals or helicopter underwater escape training.


    The assessment may also include an assessment of your ability to perform the inherent requirements of the job safely and effectively. This is to ensure that you are physically and mentally capable of performing the tasks required for the job.


  • Does pre-employment medicine mean I got the job?

    Not necessarily. While a pre-employment medical assessment is an important part of the recruitment process, it does not guarantee that you will be offered the job. 


    The purpose of the assessment is to determine whether you are medically fit to perform the job you have applied for, and whether there are any medical conditions or physical limitations that may affect your ability to perform the job safely and effectively. 


    Ultimately, the decision to offer you the job will depend on a range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, experience, and performance during the recruitment process.

  • Who pays for pre-employment medical care in Australia?

    The cost of pre-employment medical assessments in Australia is typically paid for by the employer. 


    This is because it is the employer's responsibility to ensure that their employees are medically fit to perform the job they have been hired for. 


    However, there may be some circumstances where the cost of the assessment is split between the employer and the employee, or where the employee is required to pay for the assessment themselves.

  • How much is pre-employment medical in Australia?

    The cost of pre-employment medical assessments in Australia can vary depending on a range of factors, including the location of the assessment, the type of assessment required, and the provider. 


    In general, the cost of a basic pre-medical assessment can range from $100 to $300, while more complex assessments may cost upwards of $500. It is important to note that the cost of the assessment is typically covered by the employer.
