A Comprehensive "Fit for Work" Assessment
We begin with a detailed health questionnaire to identify any underlying risks, followed by a physical examination tailored to the physical demands of the job. Here is how the standard process works:
- Medical History Review: Identifying past injuries or conditions relevant to the role.
- Physical Assessment: Musculoskeletal checks, range of movement, and lifting capability.
- Vision & Vitals: Distance/Near vision, colour blindness (Ishihara), blood pressure, and heart check.
- Reporting: You receive a clear "Fit for Work", "Fit with Restrictions", or "Unfit" determination.
Note: You can add modules like Drug Testing, Spirometry, or Audiometry to any standard medical.
PEACE OF MIND
Manage Your Business Risk
Hiring physically unsuitable staff is a major liability. A pre-existing injury or undisclosed medical condition can lead to costly ACC claims or workplace accidents down the line. Our robust medicals give you the peace of mind that your new employee is physically capable of performing the tasks required—safely and sustainably.
Tailored Assessments for Every Industry
We don’t believe in a "one size fits all" medical. We adjust the assessment criteria based on the risk level of the position you are hiring for:
- Transport & Logistics: Focus on driver health, vision standards, and fatigue management.
- Construction & Trades: Focus on lifting capacity, hearing, and physical endurance.
- Manufacturing: Focus on repetitive strain risks and dust/chemical exposure (Spirometry).
- Corporate/Office: Focus on ergonomics, vision (screen use), and general wellness.

Pre-Employment FAQs
How long does the appointment take?
A standard pre-employment medical takes approximately 30–45 minutes. If you are adding drug testing or spirometry, please allow an extra 15 minutes.
How fast do we get the results?
In most cases, we can provide a verbal confirmation immediately after the appointment. The formal written report is typically emailed to the employer within 24 hours.
Can you include a drug test?
Yes. We can add an instant Urine Drug Screen (AS/NZS 4308:2008 standard) to any medical. Positive results can be sent to the lab for confirmation if required.
What if the candidate has a medical issue?
If a health issue is found (e.g., high blood pressure), our GP can often provide immediate advice or treatment plan to help manage the risk, allowing the candidate to potentially still be cleared for work.
Do you offer business accounts?
Yes. For regular users, we offer monthly account terms to streamline your billing. Please contact us to set this up.
