Jobfit vs Work Plus Health: which occupational health provider is right for WA?
Jobfit has been operating in occupational health for decades and has an established presence across Western Australia. Work Plus Health takes a different approach. We believe occupational health should be faster, easier to access and more digitally connected. For employers, that means getting candidates assessed sooner, receiving results faster and having better information about a worker's actual capacity for work.
About Work Plus Health
Work Plus Health is a modern occupational health provider built around a broad WA clinic network and a fully digitally enabled candidate and clinical experience. We provide pre-employment medicals, occupational medicine, health monitoring, injury management, return to work services, fitness for work assessments and our clinically validated Fit for Work Index. The difference is that we have built these services around speed and accessibility.
About Jobfit
Jobfit is an established occupational healthcare provider and part of Partnered Health. Its WA network includes locations such as Perth, Joondalup, Midland, Kewdale, Canning Vale, Rockingham, Bunbury and Kalgoorlie. Jobfit focuses on occupational health and medicals, pre-employment medicals, health surveillance and work fitness assessments, rather than injury management or return to work, which are not services they offer. Their medicals are run on a nurse-led model, with doctor reviews frequently conducted remotely via desktop review rather than through hands-on, doctor-led clinical assessment. Jobfit also has digital booking and management platforms, the real difference is how much of the occupational health experience is integrated, how quickly candidates can access it and what employers get back from the clinical process.
