Pre-Employment Health Checks for Aged Care and Disability Providers

Supporting safe staffing, regulatory compliance and workforce confidence across the Mid North Coast
Recruiting in aged care and disability services requires more than checking qualifications. It requires confidence that new team members are physically capable to meet the demands of the role.

Our pre-employment health checks support aged care and disability organisations across the region. We help employers make informed recruitment decisions while supporting candidate wellbeing.

  • Assessing functional capacity. Structured medical and functional assessments conducted before a candidate starts employment to determine whether they can safely perform the essential duties of the role.
  • Testing mobility and manual handling capability. Including lifting, transfers and physical tasks aligned with the demands of aged care and disability work.
  • Reviewing relevant medical history. Considering factors that may impact safe performance of physically demanding care roles.
  • Supporting Work Health and Safety obligations. Helping demonstrate due diligence under aged care and disability standards.
  • Reducing workplace injuries. Lowering the risk of manual handling injuries and workers compensation claims.
  • Identifying reasonable adjustments early. Supporting fair and respectful onboarding practices.

These assessments are aligned with the inherent requirements of care roles across residential aged care, disability support, community care and home care settings.

Our Approach to Pre-Employment Health Checks

Pre-employment health checks are structured around the specific demands of each role. We work with your HR or recruitment team to understand the physical requirements before conducting a confidential and professional assessment with the candidate.

Assessments may consider:

  • Repetitive manual handling.
  • Assisting with transfers and mobility aids.
  • Personal care tasks.
  • Behavioural support scenarios.
  • Community-based travel.
  • Infection control requirements.

We provide clear, objective reporting to support safe recruitment decisions while maintaining candidate dignity and confidentiality.
