Additional Information
Appointments
We are proud to offer same day and walk-in appointments for injured workers and Drug and Alcohol testing, however, please understand that a short wait may be required.
Appointments can be made by contacting our administration staff in the clinic as well as through our nationalised bookings team. We encourage our clients and candidates to book an appointment with our team as soon as practicable.
Please be aware that many medicals can take up to 2.5 hours from start to finish depending on the type of medical required. All paperwork will need to be completed before the medical can technically begin, so we do encourage candidates to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to their appointment start time to ensure wait times are not extended.
