The role that you are applying for requires physically demanding work.
Section 19 of the Workplace Health & Safety Act 2011 – Primary Duty of Care states that “A person conducting a business or undertaking must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable , the health and safety of:
- workers engaged, or caused to be engaged by the person, and
- workers whose activities in carrying out work are influenced or directed by the person, while the workers are at work in the business or undertaking.”
As such, the primary purpose of the Medical History and the Pre-Employment Medical is to ensure that your current health and fitness level enables you to safely complete the required duties, without risk to your own safety and the safety of others. It is Not the intention of the medical history to deny a person employment solely based on disability or illness.
We request that you disclose any pre-existing injuries or diseases of which you are aware and could reasonably foresee may be affected by the nature of the position that you are applying for, or may impact upon your ability to do the work.
In accordance with the Workers Compensation Act 1987 Section 9A, “(1) No compensation is payable under this Act in respect of an injury (other than a disease injury) unless the employment concerned was a substantial contributing factor to the injury.” This means that if you are found to have falsified any information on this form, and due to an existing injury prior to your employment with Brobrik Pty Ltd you attempt to claim workers compensation, your request will be declined.
