Pre-Employment Medical Assessments
Why do I need a Pre-Employment Medical Assessment?
The Pre-employment Medical Assessment (PEMA) is a recruitment tool which aims to provide an in-depth or basic tailored report the health and wellbeing of employees. It is a frequently performed assessment which informs employers whether employees are fit, healthy and capable of performing certain jobs. It can be requested in any field of work; however, it is commonly used in the following industries:
- Healthcare
- Defence
- Construction
- Mining
- Rail Safety
- Commercial Vehicle License
If you are looking to apply for jobs in the aforementioned industries and require a PEMA or a workplace requiring a specialised & conveniently located clinic to conduct a PEMA – we can help you. Call (03)9686-2222 or book online

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Fitness and health are crucial to every single employee – without it, they will not be able to work proficiently. The PEMA provides insights into the health and wellbeing of future employees and provides employers with even more information about prospective employees, which may also aid the recruitment process. It also works towards creating a safe work environment, that is devoid of injuries and manifests opportunities for employers to better support their employees.
