WorkFunction Victoria’s expert physiotherapists provide pre-employment functional assessments for employers as part of a thorough pre-employment risk assessment. Pre-employment functional assessments were developed because the medical examination provides only information about the candidate’s general health. The functional assessment provides all the specific information about the candidate.
