What's Involved
A pre-employment medical assesses your fitness for the specific demands of a role, and what it includes depends on what the employer has asked for. Most assessments cover a health history and a physical examination; where the role requires it, breathing function testing (spirometry), an ECG or pathology tests can be completed onsite in the same appointment.
Tell reception it is a pre-employment medical when you book, so the right appointment length is set aside, and mention any form your employer has supplied: the GP completes the employer’s paperwork as part of the assessment.
Hiring Locally
If you are hiring locally and need one candidate assessed, or a handful, you do not need a corporate account. Call reception, tell us what the role requires and send through your form, and we will book the candidate in. With spirometry, ECG and pathology collection onsite, most assessments are completed in a single visit, and the completed report returns to you once the candidate has consented to its release.
Injured at work
If you have been injured at work, a GP can assess the injury, issue and review the work capacity certificate your claim requires, and manage treatment and referrals as you recover. Bring your employer’s details and your claim reference to the first appointment if you have them.
Dr Afraz Ghafoor consults in English, Hindi, Sinhalese and Urdu.

What to expect
The steps are the same for every assessment:
Book Online through HotDoc, or call (07) 3069 6455, and say which medical you need.
Please bring photo ID, your Medicare card, any forms from your employer, licensing authority or insurer, and your glasses if you wear them.
History, examination, and any onsite tests the role or form requires.
The completed form or certificate is provided, and sent to your employer or insurer only with your consent.
Your Health is Our Priority
Book online with HotDoc or call us directly. New patients are always welcome at Brookwater Medical Centre.
Generally no. Employment, driving and insurance medicals sit outside Medicare, which is why they are privately billed rather than bulk billed.
Only what you consent to release. The assessment itself is confidential between you and the GP; the completed report or form goes to the employer with your authorisation.
Bring it, or have the employer send it to reception before the appointment. The GP completes the employer’s form as part of the assessment.
Yes. Our GPs assess workplace injuries, issue and review work capacity certificates, and manage treatment through your recovery.
Yes, both. Bring the form your licensing authority or insurer requires and the GP completes it during the assessment.
Call reception with the role’s requirements and your form. Single candidates and small groups are both fine; there is no minimum and no account to set up.
