Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a pre-employment medical take?
Most assessments take 45–90 minutes depending on the scope of testing. Everything is completed in a single visit.
How quickly will we receive the report?
Within 24 hours of the appointment. We guarantee this turnaround for all standard assessments.
Can you customise testing to our requirements?
Yes. We tailor every assessment to the specific role and your requirements. If you need specific tests (e.g. full spirometry, drug screening, task-specific functional testing), let us know when requesting a quote.
