Fitness for work medicals and consultancy service
We have a team of doctors who are qualified in Occupational Medicine. This relates to assessment of workers for fitness for work following injury or health issue and ongoing clinical care. Referrals are often from organizations that need such assessments.
If an individual has an injury or a health issue, our doctors can guide their rehabilitation and provide guidance on their return to work.
In New Zealand, the Company holds the Vocational Medical Services (VMS) contract with Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC).
If you are an Occupational Therapist or a Physiotherapist or a GP with a client on a return-to-work programme funded through ACC, you can refer your client to us for a Vocational Medical Review (VMR) or a Vocational Rehabilitation Review (VRR). These medical assessments are to guide physical and vocational rehabilitation and are funded by ACC via the VMS contract.
We also accept referrals from lawyers for Independent Medical Examinations (IME).
Who can do the referral?

We have experienced doctors with specialization in both Occupational Medicine and Human factors including a certified Human Factors professional.
An organization that requires an human factors assessment is welcome to reach out to us.
We also provide support for developing Fatigue Risk assessment and management systems.
Education and Research
Our doctors are also educators and researchers. They have been course developers and adjunct faculty in university.
They have won research grants and conducted research in the areas of Health and Work in a broad range of sectors. We run training/ education packages that can be customized to your needs.
These have traditionally been from one hour to one week in terms of duration.
Workplace assessments and intervention programmes
There are situations where an Occupational Medicine specialist and/or Certified Human Factors professional will visit your workplace to assess the fitness of a worker with a health issue.
An example is a worker with a developing eye issue impacting vision who operates specific specialized types of heavy machinery.
