Fitness for Duty

A Fitness for Duty assessment is for employees with a non-work-related injury or illness. Specifically, with regards to suitability to return to a specific job role. A non-work-related injury or illness does not arise out of the normal course of employment. However, it may have the potential to impact on the health, safety and welfare of the employee or their colleagues. A non-work-related injury may also have the potential to inhibit the employee’s ability to fulfill the full requirements of their substantive roles and responsibilities.

Lotus Family Clinic can assist employers with information and recommendations for an employee with a non-work-related injury or illness. Specifically, with regards to suitability to return to a specific role by undertaking a Fitness for Duty assessment.
