Medicals
At Gracemere Family Practice, we provide a comprehensive range of occupational health medicals and services.
Pre-Employment Health Screening (Pre-Employment Medical)
Pre-employment medicals are the standard for many Australian organisations. They ensure that any health-related requirements essential to job performance for a particular role are met. The type of testing done as part of the process depends on the position being recruited.
Our pre-employment medical services offer fast turn-around and results. We can provide our own paperwork for the medical or candidates may bring in paperwork provided by their employers.

Commercial Driver’s Licence Medical (Dangerous Goods Medical)
Driving a motor vehicle is a complex task requiring perception, good judgement, responsiveness and reasonable physical capability. Professional driving adds additional demands associated with the vehicle itself, the responsibility to passengers, distances travelled, the demands of work schedules and so on.
A range of medical conditions as well as treatments may therefore impair the ability to undertake work safely. Drivers must meet certain medical standards to ensure their health status does not increase the risk of a crash in which they or other road users may be injured or killed.
The commercial standards should be applied to:- Drivers of 'heavy vehicles' i.e. those holding or applying for a licence of class MR (Medium Rigid), HR (Heavy Rigid), HC (Heavy Combination) or MC (Multi-combination).
- Drivers applying for an authority /already authorised to carry public passengers for hire or reward (bus drivers, taxi drivers, chauffeurs, drivers of hire cars and small buses etc).
- Drivers applying for an authority / already authorised to carry bulk dangerous goods.
Commercial vehicle drivers are required to comply with legislation, and be certified as ‘fit to drive’, in accordance with the Assessing Fitness to Drive 2012 standards for commercial vehicle drivers, published by Austroads and the National Transport Commission.
