How it works

Step 1. GP consultation at Metta Medical

Book an appointment with any GP at Metta Medical Centre. Please bring:

• Photo ID — driver’s licence or passport
• Any employer, regulator, or licensing paperwork specifying what is required
• Medicare card (note: employment medicals do not attract a Medicare rebate)

Step 2. Assessment and documentation

Your GP will conduct the medical assessment, complete any required medical forms such as driving medical forms, pre-employment medicals, or gun licensing paperwork, and arrange any necessary testing.

Step 3. Testing

Blood, swab, and urine testing can be performed on the premises at Metta Medical Centre. For drug and alcohol testing that requires chaperoning, patients will be referred to our pathology partner Clinipath Osborne Park.

Step 4. Results

Results are sent back to your Metta Medical GP, who can interpret them, complete any employer or regulator paperwork, and discuss next steps with you.

Types of employment medicals

• Pre-employment medicals and screening
• Driving medicals — commercial drivers, heavy vehicle, and rideshare licences (Uber, Ola, DiDi)
• Workplace compliance testing — random, post-incident, or return-to-work
• Insurance medicals
• Gun licensing medicals (existing patients only; costs vary — call reception to enquire with your individual doctor)

Drug and alcohol testing

Blood, swab, and urine testing can be done on premises at Metta Medical. For drug and alcohol tests that require chaperoning (e.g., supervised specimen collection for workplace compliance), patients are referred to Clinipath Osborne Park, an accredited pathology provider with expertise in forensic-grade testing.

Cost

Employment medicals do not attract a Medicare rebate. Fees are payable in full at the time of consultation.

Testing fees at Clinipath (if referred) are separate and depend on the test type. Employer-funded testing is usually billed directly to the employer.
