Services
Mine Medicals is dedicated to meeting the occupational health requirements of our clients. We strongly believe that proactive healthcare is better than reactive healthcare. For that reason, we have devised a number of optional medicals aimed at identifying existing health/job risks, monitoring for developing health conditions and assisting with safe re-entry into the workplace following injury or illness. Additionally, we provide access to qualified/registered practitioners for a number of mandatory, industry regulated medicals. Whatever your occupational health needs may be, Mine Medicals is here to make workplace health easier.
*Please note, some of the industry regulated services can only be provided at certain locations where a registered practitioner is available.

Injuries in the workplace are always sudden, unexpected and can be prone to infection, especially cuts, burns and punctures sustained from tools or materials. To assist companies and their employees, we offer a priority injury management service. Companies must register with us to be included. This service ensures that injured workers receive priority triageand are treated as soon as possible.
Through this service we aim to keep minor to moderate workplace injuries out of the Emergency Departments where patients can be left waiting hours.

Return-to-work Assessments
[su_expand more_text=”Show more” less_text=”Show less” height=”80″ hide_less=”no” text_color=”#212529″ link_color=”#e35b1c” link_style=”default” link_align=”left” more_icon=”” less_icon=”” class=””]
Our return to work assessments assist with the prevention of re-injury, and ensure that employees are capable of safely meeting the needs of their positions.
These assessments cover
- load bearing,
- weight lifting,
- grip strength and
- flexibility.
Each medical focuses on the area of concern only, making them relatively quick and cost effective. In some cases employees can also return for light duties, which our medical examiners provide support and advice on so appropriate allowances can be made for the employee. A work clearance certificate is issued so employers can be sure that their workers are fit for duties specified.
