Occupational Health Services
in Cannonvale
Work and health often meet at very practical questions. Am I medically ready to start this role? Can I safely return to work? What information does my employer actually need?
Coral Coast Doctors provides occupational health services from our Cannonvale medical centre for workers, job applicants and employers. Because workplace medical requirements can vary significantly, we recommend contacting reception before booking so the team can help arrange the appropriate appointment.
Pre-Employment Medicals
Fitness for Work

Occupational Health Reviews
I’m a Worker
If your employer has asked you to attend a medical, contact reception and provide the documentation you have received. The team can confirm what type of appointment may be required.
I’m an Employer
Use the Employer & Business Enquiry pathway so the clinic can understand what assessment, documentation and reporting your organisation requires. This helps prevent the wrong appointment from being booked online.

Not every work medical is the same. Someone starting a new job may arrive with an employer form and a list of specific assessment requirements. Someone returning after an injury may need a completely different type of consultation. Another worker may need a review because their health or job requirements have changed.
That is why the first useful question is not: Which medical package do I buy? It is: What does this role, employer or situation actually require? Once we understand that, the practice can help arrange the most appropriate appointment.
Pre-Employment Medicals
An employer may ask you to complete a medical assessment before beginning a role. Assessment requirements can differ depending on the work involved and the employer’s documentation.
Fitness-for-Work Assessments
If there is a question about whether you can safely perform the requirements of your work, a fitness-for-work assessment may be requested. Purpose and required documentation can vary.
WorkCover Consultations
Workplace injuries can involve more than the medical issue itself. WorkCover consultations are confirmed as part of our occupational health services.
Employer & Business Enquiries
A separate pathway for employers coordinating medicals, documentation, recruitment rounds or ongoing occupational-health requirements.
Occupational Health Reviews
Not every workplace-health appointment fits neatly into pre-employment or WorkCover. Coral Coast Doctors also confirms occupational health reviews as part of its current service range. If you have been asked to attend a medical review and are not sure which appointment type applies, contact reception with the documents or instructions you have received: the team can help identify what type of booking is most appropriate.
Our Occupational Health Process
1. Understand Requirement
What does this role, employer or situation actually require?
2. Provide Employer Documentation
Send or bring any form, assessment sheet or job requirements.
3. Book Correct Assessment
Reception can help arrange the appropriate appointment type.
4. Attend Assessment
Bring your paperwork, identification and medication information.
5. Documentation / Next Step
Process and timeframe depend on the assessment and employer requirements.
The Medical Should Match the Job
An occupational medical should not be treated as a generic annual check-up. Its purpose is usually connected to a particular work situation, so the assessment may need to consider the actual requirements of the role rather than applying exactly the same process to everyone.
For a patient, that makes preparation important: bring the employer’s paperwork if you have been given any. For an employer, providing clear information about what needs to be assessed can help the appointment run more efficiently.
What Tests Are Included?
The assessments required depend on the role and employer requirements. Please send or bring the employer paperwork before your appointment where possible so our team can confirm what testing is required and whether it is available through Coral Coast Doctors.
Availability of the following must be confirmed with reception: they are not advertised as universally available:
- Drug and alcohol testing
- Spirometry
- Audiometry
- Vision testing
- Musculoskeletal assessment
- ECG
- Functional testing
Bring the Paperwork Before the Guesswork
One of the easiest ways to make an occupational-health appointment smoother is to bring the information you have been given. Where relevant:
- Employer paperwork
- Photo identification
- A current medication list
- Glasses if you normally use them
- Hearing aids if you normally use them
What Happens After the Assessment?
This depends on the reason for the appointment. Where documentation or a report is required, the process and expected timeframe will depend on the assessment and employer requirements. Please ask reception about the expected turnaround when booking.
Your Medical Information Still Matters
Occupational medicine involves a slightly different relationship from an ordinary GP appointment, because information may sometimes be requested by an employer or another organisation. That makes consent and privacy particularly important: our team can explain what information is collected, who receives the report and what consent is required.
Make the Medical Easier to Organise
When you are arranging a medical for one person, calling a clinic is manageable. When you are coordinating multiple employees, recruitment rounds or ongoing occupational-health requirements, the process needs to be clearer. Employers can contact the practice about:
Booking for Yourself?
If your employer has asked you to attend a medical, contact reception and provide the documentation you have received. The team can confirm what type of appointment may be required.
Booking for an Employee?
Use the Employer & Business Enquiry pathway so the clinic can understand what assessment, documentation and reporting your organisation requires.

Occupational and employment medicals do not necessarily follow the same billing rules as ordinary Medicare-eligible GP consultations. The clinic’s approved fee statement identifies insurance and employment medicals among services that may not be eligible for bulk billing or may involve an out-of-pocket fee.
Occupational medical fees depend on the assessment required. Please contact reception before booking so the team can confirm the appointment, testing requirements and applicable fees.
