Pre-Employment Medical Assessments

Our pre-employment medical assessments are tailored to meet the specific needs of your organisation and the roles you’re hiring for. Each assessment evaluates candidates comprehensively, ensuring they possess the physical and mental capabilities required for their positions. By aligning our evaluations with the unique demands of each job, we provide insights that help you select the most suitable people, reducing the risk of workplace injuries and enhancing overall performance.

Functional Assessment
We assess the spine and upper and lower limbs. Includes a review of joint range of motion, joint stability, muscle length, muscle strength, functional work tolerances and a basic neural screen.
Postural Tolerance Assessment
Assessment of postural tolerances (both static and dynamic) that are matched to a role’s requirements. Includes sitting, standing, reaching, bending and twisting.
Manual Handling Loading Assessment
A functional assessment of a person’s manual handling loading ability that is matched against the role’s requirements. This covers the candidate’s ability to perform lifts safely and includes a review of their technique and overall tolerance to the movement.
Audiometry (Hearing) Testing
Our audiometric assessments measure hearing capability and screen for any hearing deficiencies that may have resulted from prior exposure to hazardous noise levels.
Spirometry (Lung Function) Testing
We conduct spirometry assessments that measure lung function and the degree of airflow obstruction that may be present (if any).
Fatigue Assessment
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is administered to all driver candidates to assess the presence of fatigue resulting from sleep-related conditions, such as sleep apnoea.
Vision Testing
This covers visual acuity. The assessment is designed for roles that require a clear vision for safe performance. Colour vision can also be assessed where this is identified as an inherent role requirement.
Drug and Alcohol Testing
These pre-employment drug and alcohol tests screen urine for the presence of alcohol and illicit drugs at the time of assessment. Results can be sent for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) testing if required.
Psychological Mental Health Assessment
The Kessler 10 Psychological Screen is completed with every candidate to identify potential risks associated with anxiety and depression.

“Mandalay Resources engaged Bodycare for both the provision of onsite physiotherapy and pre employment medicals. Previous to using Bodycare our organisation were using multiple providers to complete PEM’s, with most using their own assessment tools. The consolidation into one provider has been an enormous cost saving exercise for us and has strengthened managements confidence in the recruitment process.”
Nick Cherry Injury Manager & RTW Coordinator

Pre-Employments & Health Screening FAQs

  • A pre-employment health screening is used by employers to evaluate the skills, abilities, and suitability of job candidates before offering them a position.

    The experienced occupational health professionals at Bodycare can quickly identify potential issues, track health parameters (such as hearing and respiratory function), and provide robust and professional recommendations so that businesses can make informed hiring decisions.

  • In environments where workers are required to work remotely, drive commercially, interact with the public, perform manual tasks, or complete a number of other physical and mental demands, it is important to ensure that each worker can safely perform the inherent requirements of their role throughout their employment. 

    At Bodycare, we see pre-employment screening as the first layer of defence and as an effective way of understanding the potential risks a candidate may bring into your business.

  • Pre-employment medical assessments are typically required in industries where the physical and mental demands of the job pose significant risks to the health, safety, or performance of workers or the public. Our team of occupational health experts have decades of experience supporting workers across Australia and New Zealand in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, aviation, construction, labour hire, mining, transport, warehousing, and aged care.
