Occupational Health

Does your workplace need additional information to assess a candidate’s suitability to perform their role? 

Our physiotherapists offer Pre-Employment and Functional Capacity Evaluations for workplaces in the Moreton Bay region. These evaluations help workplaces to better identify risk, align job roles to candidates’ abilities and create a safer working environment 

Pre-Employment Assessments usually take about 1 hour and cover:

  • pre-existing injuries and/or conditions
  • range of motion
  • ability to perform job-specific tasks such as squatting and kneeling (positional tolerances)
  • ability to safely lift and carry 
  • grip strength
  • cardiovascular fitness 

Functional Capacity Evaluations provide:

  • an update on a client’s rehabilitation progress following a workplace injury or illness
  • an assessment of their ability to perform specific workplace tasks such as lifting, squatting and reaching based on the job description
  • other standardised testing as needed to evaluate range of motion, strength, stamina and risk of future injuries.

Our physiotherapists then develop a streamlined and evidence-based report to consider in your decision-making. We work closely with both local businesses and WorkCover. Call us today on 07 3419 8671 to find out more.
