A pre-employment medical is a health assessment conducted by a qualified medical professional to determine an individual’s fitness for a specific job or role. It often includes a physical examination, a health history review, and possibly some functional tests.
Employers require these assessments to ensure that potential employees are physically and mentally fit to perform their job duties safely and effectively, to reduce workplace injury risks, and to comply with occupational health and safety regulations.
The examination typically includes:
Medical history review
Physical examination
Vision and hearing tests
Drug and alcohol testing (if applicable)
Skin checks
Blood Pressure, Height and Weight measurements
Functional assessments related to the job requirements
Yes. You should:
Bring any relevant medical records and/or current prescriptions.
Inform the doctor about any ongoing medical conditions or medications.
Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs for a specified period before testing
(if applicable).
Wear comfortable clothing, especially if physical assessments are
involved.
Bring with you a current form of government-issued ID.
The duration of the medical examination can vary but typically lasts between 45
to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the assessment required.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition, it’s essential to disclose this during the examination. Our doctors will assess whether it affects your ability to perform the job and may provide recommendations or conditions.
Any information disclosed to your potential employee will only be done with
your consent. If you are concerned about what information may be disclosed,
please read your consent form and discuss any concerns with the clinic staff.
Knight Health does not determine if a candidate “fails or passes” a medical. As an entity, Knight Health does not form part of the recruitment process. We conduct a medical assessment and make recommendations – on your ability to safely perform the inherent duties of your role.
Pre-employment medicals are typically conducted only once before starting a
new job, but some employers may require periodic assessments for specific roles or industries.
Yes – under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you can request access to the medical information we hold about you at all times. We will assess your request and take action accordingly.
Depending on the medical you have undertaken, and if there are any
complexities, a standard medical should be finalised and sent to your potential employer within one business day. If additional testing is required, the results of your medical assessment cannot be released until all information is received.
The Knight Health Hub is an interactive booking tool that allows our clients to
book their Candidates into their clinic of choice, and receive real-time updates on the candidate’s assessment progress.
