Pre-employment medicals. Digital, doctor-reviewed, defensible.

A pre-employment medical is a health assessment completed before a candidate starts work, used to determine whether they can safely perform the inherent requirements of a specific role. Done properly, it also creates documented evidence supporting an employer’s work health and safety, disclosure and anti-discrimination obligations.

Most pre-employment medical checks only do the first half. That’s the gap Medrisk closes.

Sending candidates to a clinic buys a slow process and a thin outcome: 5-8 day turnarounds that stall placements, an off-the-shelf template with the job title typed into the header, and broad declarations that are often insufficient evidence a candidate was informed of the role’s requirements and given a meaningful opportunity to disclose. Medrisk replaces it with documented inherent requirements, doctor review and a complete audit trail, in hours.

1. Send. Role-specific digital assessments to one candidate or 500+ instantly, via automated SMS and email, with state-of-the-art technology to guide them through the assessment process.

2. Complete. Candidates undertake online assessments in under 30 minutes, their identity is verified, consent captured, with capability to complete assessments in multiple languages.

3. Review. A Medrisk occupational health doctor reviews and signs every assessment against the inherent requirements of the job-role profile.

4. Report. A detailed medical risk report is available within hours, backed by a complete audit trail.

A pre-employment medical isn’t just a health check, it’s evidence. Evidence the employer reviewed the candidate’s capacity to perform the role and identified foreseeable risk before exposure. When a claim, dispute or regulator asks what steps you took before placement, your assessment process is what gets examined. Medrisk is structured around the frameworks that matter.

Medrisk pre-employment assessments are completed digitally, so “pre-employment medical near me” is wherever your candidate is: metro, regional or remote, across Australia and New Zealand. Where a role requires in-person testing, Medrisk enables you to initiate in-clinic functional capacity assessments or laboratory drug and alcohol testing directly from the platform to hundreds of integrated physical locations.
