Pre-Employment Medicals in Perth: A Guide for Western Australian Employers

Pre-employment medicals in Perth, explained

A pre-employment medical confirms a candidate is medically fit for the demands of a specific role before they start. For Perth and Western Australian employers, particularly in mining, construction, transport, rail and healthcare, it is one of the most cost-effective risk controls available. Work Plus Health runs role-matched pre-employment medicals across 37 WA clinics with same-day appointments and same-day results.

What is tested at a Perth pre-employment medical?

• Medical history and physical examination
• Vision and hearing screening
• Blood pressure, height and weight
• Musculoskeletal and functional screen matched to the role
• Drug and alcohol screening (AS/NZS 4308 and AS 4760) where required
• Audiometry, spirometry and ECG as role-relevant add-ons

Role-matched, not one-size-fits-all

An office worker in the Perth CBD does not need the same assessment as a scaffolder in Kwinana or an underground miner in the Goldfields. Work Plus Health matches the assessment to the inherent requirements of the role and the relevant Western Australian and national standard, so your fitness-for-work decision is defensible.

How long does it take, and how fast are results?

Most pre-employment medicals take 30 to 90 minutes. Bookings made before 3PM are eligible for same-day results, subject to the same-day results guarantee terms. With clinics across Perth Metro North, Perth Metro South and Regional WA, candidates are usually seen within 24 to 48 hours.
