Our Occupational Health Services
Pre-Employment Medicals
Comprehensive "Fit for Work" assessments tailored to your industry. We check physical ability, vision, and medical history to ensure your candidate is safe to start.
Workplace Drug & Alcohol Testing
Fast, accurate screening using ESR-accredited standards. We offer instant urine screening for pre-employment, random, or post-incident testing.
Health Monitoring (Audiometry & Spirometry)
Meet your annual WorkSafe requirements. We provide baseline and annual monitoring for noise (Hearing) and dust/chemical exposure (Lung Function).
A Medical Approach to Workplace Safety
Unlike basic testing agencies, 1 Health is a fully integrated Medical Centre. This means if a health issue is detected during a medical (such as high blood pressure in a driver), our onsite GPs can often address the issue immediately. This "One-Stop" approach reduces delays in getting your staff certified and back to work. We combine the efficiency of an occupational health provider with the clinical expertise of a doctor's surgery.
Weekend AVAILABILITY
Weekend Appointments for Drivers & Contractors
We know that pulling staff off the road or the building site during the week loses you revenue. That is why 1 Health offers Occupational Health and Driver Medical appointments on weekends.
For corporate accounts or bulk bookings, please email our practice manager directly. For individual driver medicals, you can book online instantly.
