You are also required to complete the Employee Declaration of pre-existing injury. If you fail to disclose or make a false or misleading disclosure, any recurrence, aggravation, acceleration, exacerbation or deterioration of the pre-existing injury/disease may not entitle you to compensation. The Pre-Placement questionnaire and medical examinations relate to the inherent requirements of the position applied for, and only assess current ability to perform the related duties whilst satisfying Occupational Health and Safety obligations. Results are used to assist with determining suitability to the position applied for, and are not the sole criterion used to make employment decisions. Additionally, in the event of a medical examination being required, the medical assessment involves the assessment of the functions of parts of the body relevant to the position for which you have applied. You may also be required to undergo a drug or alcohol screening test. The questionnaire and tests do not attempt to predict future deterioration, nor discriminate against people with disabilities, impairment or illness. Ways of accommodating people without all required physical attributes will be considered in determining suitability. The questionnaire and medical test results are confidential records. These will be maintained by NPT and the relevant medical service provider, and will not be released to other parties without the consent of the employee unless otherwise required by law. If you have any objection to completing a pre-employment health questionnaire and, if determined as necessary, a pre-placement medical examination, please advise the interviewer.
