Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pre-employment medical assessment?
A pre-employment medical assessment is a health check required by some employers before starting a new job. The assessment helps identify any health concerns that could impact your ability to safely perform your role. It typically includes a review of your medical history, physical checks such as blood pressure and vision tests, and may include drug and alcohol screening if requested by the employer. The results are usually shared with your employer as part of the hiring process.
Why do workplaces require drug and alcohol testing?
Drug and alcohol testing is used in many workplaces to help maintain safety, especially in industries where impaired performance could cause harm. Testing may be required during pre-employment screening, after an incident, or as part of random workplace safety checks. The testing process involves collecting samples such as urine or saliva, with results interpreted against Australian standards. Maintaining a drug and alcohol-free workplace helps reduce accidents and improve employee safety.
What happens during an occupational health assessment?
An occupational health assessment helps identify whether you are medically fit to perform your job safely. The assessment may include a physical examination, vision and hearing tests, respiratory assessments, or other checks specific to your workplace. Your doctor will review your health history and discuss any risks related to your work. Where needed, the doctor may complete workplace documentation confirming your fitness for duty or recommend follow-up care.
How long does a workplace health assessment take?
The length of a workplace health assessment depends on what is required by your employer or industry. A simple pre-employment medical may take 30 minutes, while more detailed assessments that include drug and alcohol screening or multiple physical checks may take longer. Your doctor will explain what is involved during your booking, and the practice will aim to complete any required forms promptly after your appointment. Follow-up appointments may be arranged if additional testing is required.
