Selecting the incorrect type of medical or fitness assessment may result in delays to your booking, additional departmental charges, and potentially the need to repeat the entire assessment process. To avoid these issues, please consult with your employer and carefully review the guidelines below before selecting your assessment type.
Once you have completed the required medical assessments and your fit slip has been approved, you must submit a new booking request to undertake your fitness assessment.
