Pre Employment Assessment
A customised risk management approach – it’s more than a pre-employment medical.
How effective are pre-employment medical assessments in assisting the employer, and protecting the worker? How do they fit into the big picture?
Pre-employment medical assessments need to consider specific work practices, legislation and compensation. The ageing of our workforce – with people living and working for longer – brings with it the impact of chronic disease. A well-designed pre-employment medical will assist in determining the baseline level of fitness of a worker, however it is only effective as the first stage in your risk management approach.
Whilst there are legislated medicals whose contents are mandated, such as those in rail, aviation and some mining operations; in the majority of cases, there is no ‘one-size fits all’ pre-employment medical assessment. Undergoing an ‘off the shelf solution’ will only serve to provide employers and their workers with a false sense of security, and potentially increase your and their risk.
“If not well-designed and conducted, a pre-employment assessment is, at-best, an expensive, non-valid snap-shot in time.” – Dr Rob McCartney
Our Occupational Physicians can recommend the best strategy for employment health assessment for your organisation – keeping your risk management goals in mind. We will assist you in designing and implementing a best practice solution for your pre-employment medicals, the first step in managing the health risk of your workforce.
We arrange pre-employment medicals and periodic health assessments nationally and internationally including those required under legislated schemes:
Coal Mine Workers Health Scheme (QLD)
Rail Safety Workers Medical (Cat 1, Cat 2, Cat 3)
Dangerous Goods/Commercial Drivers Medical
Multiple sites? Multiple providers? We assist clients to maintain consistent fitness for duty decisions at pre-employment and periodically
Resile clients benefit from our proprietary management system for ensuring fitness for duty. This is available for both pre-employment medicals and periodic health assessments.
A well designed, risk based assessment, considers more than just the risk on that day, but also a projection of risk into the future. This is why it is imperative that a specialist Occupational Physician is determining the fitness of an individual, as it requires expertise that can only be offered by a consultant specialist in the field who considers the full health of an individual. This expertise also allows you to have assurance that the quality of the assessment is well controlled, ensuring compliance with legislation and reducing variability.
In addition to the reliability offered by our network of preferred providers around Australia to deliver your health assessments, Resile provides an additional layer of assurance.
As a proprietary system developed and refined over years and in partnership with industry, our suite of specialist assessment tools delivers:
- Consistent, reliable fitness for duty
- A prompt service
- Accessible, affordable specialist risk management

A: We have a number of clients who face this challenge. Every day we help organisations to provide consistent fitness for duty decisions across the country – including those who operate in remote and regional areas.
A: We agree that a traditional pre-employment assessment will have limited benefit for some employment groups and industries, and our expert Occupational Physicians can advise you on the right approach to pre-employment assessment that will provide you with a cost effective approach to meet your needs. Contact us to speak in more detail about your specific needs.
A: A pre-employment assessment should always be based upon the specific tasks being performed and is not always required. We accept that there is always a need to contain costs in business, and we would rather see the costs that would be wasted on unnecessary assessments better used to increase and maintain the physical and mental health of your workforce. Our physicians look at the context of risk in your organisation and then advise appropriate assessment tools.
A: Some medical assessments are performed at regular intervals (periodic assessments) after the initial pre-employment medical is performed. In many industries, this is regulated by either legislation, by the doctor who is determining the individual’s fitness, or both. This is done in recognition that a pre-employment medical has limitations. People change with time. They develop illness, they have accidents, they have changing personal situations. All of these have an impact on their health, which in turn potentially affects their ability to safely perform their role. Therefore, a pre-employment medical is only valid until there is a significant change in the individual’s physical or psychological health. And that is why when managing the health risk of an individual in a workplace, a pre-employment medical is only the first step.
