A pre-employment medical ensures a prospective employee, for roles that have certain requirements and occupational hazards, is physically capable of performing all requirements of the position.
Those candidates will be presented with a physical requirements matrix so they can assess their own suitability for the position before applying.
If they are unable to undertake role requirements without adjustment, Council will consider suggested adjustments in accordance with Council’s Reasonable Adjustment Policy. However, if adjustments can't be made then the employee will not proceed further in the recruitment process.
