All doctors who consult from Alpha Medical Centre and perform pre-employment medicals are qualified general practitioners with experience with WorkCover and occupational health issues.

Pre-employment medical examinations serve two main purposes:

• To assess if the applicant is fit for the desired employment. Pre-employment medicals are extremely important to assess the likelihood that your applicant has a serious underlying medical disorder that may prevent them from performing the assigned work that you are employing the applicant to undertake. 
   

• Pre-employment medicals can also uncover potential pre-existing medical conditions that could affect a potential WorkCover claim later down the track.  Drug and alcohol screening, hearing tests and lung function tests can also be performed by the independent doctors consulting on our site.

 

The doctors consulting at Alpha Medical Centre can all perform all aspects of pre-employment medicals including statutory WorkCover medicals and assessing fitness to drive medicals for commercial and private licensing.

For speed, efficiency and convenience, all pre-employment medical can be emailed or faxed within 1 hour of completion of the pre-employment medical.

The doctors we support are able to cater for any employer needs in regards to additional services such:

• Audiometry (hearing test) 

• Spirometry (lung function test)

• Instant Drug & Alcohol Testing (by way of a urine sample)

• Drug Screening Laboratory Confirmation (for non-negative results)
