Pre-employment assessments may help compare selected physical tasks with the demands of a proposed role. The assessment scope should be agreed with the employer or referring organisation before an appointment.
What may be assessed?
Depending on the service requested, testing may include selected functional activities or physical capacity measures matched to identified job demands. The exact format varies across employers and roles.
How to prepare
Bring any forms or role descriptions provided by the employer, wear suitable clothing and footwear, and disclose relevant symptoms and health concerns to the clinician.
Confirm scope and reporting
Before booking, ask whether the required assessment is currently available, what the fee is, who will receive the report and what documentation needs to be provided.
Frequently asked questions
Can every role use the same assessment?
No. Assessment requirements depend on the physical demands and requirements specified for the role.
Can I book without employer paperwork?
Contact the clinic first so staff can explain what information is needed and whether they can provide the requested assessment.
Ask whether this service is suitable for you
The clinic can confirm current appointments, referral requirements and fees. A clinical assessment is needed to determine the right approach.
