Jobfit Health Group is excited to announce the opening of a new centre in Port Lincoln, South Australia.
Jobfit’s National General Manager, Steven Harvey, says the decision to open a centre in Port Lincoln was an easy one.
“Jobfit has a large number of clients in the mining and agricultural sectors that source candidates in this region, and therefore we expect demand for our services will continue”, Mr Harvey said.
"Our new centre in Port Lincoln will offer pre-employment and periodic medical assessments, functional capacity evaluations, drug and alcohol screening, as well as vocational rehabilitation services ", he said.
Increasing demand for occupational healthcare services in the Eyre Peninsula, including fast turnaround of pre-employment medical appointments and results, has seen Jobfit regularly deploy staff from Adelaide to the region for onsite assessments.
Mr Harvey believes that the new Port Lincoln centre will not only provide improved services for existing clients, business and industry in the local area can benefit from Jobfit’s wide range of occupational healthcare services.
“Jobfit is delighted to have secured local staff including an experienced vocational rehabilitation coordinator who can assist employers with return to work planning for their injured workers”, said Mr Harvey.
Jobfit’s Occupational Physician, Dr John Wilson, will regularly attend the centre and is available for independent medical examinations and permanent impairment assessments.
The new centre is located in the Civic Centre, Suite 13, 60 Tasman Terrace. Bookings for pre-employment and periodic assessments, and appointments with Dr Wilson can be made by calling 1800 994 808, or email info@jobfit.com.au
