Use

This information can be assessed by OHS advisers or other qualified personnel, who can: 

  1. Assess the candidate's medical capability to do the job for which they have applied: this will include assessing whether there are any statutory and legal reasons why an individual may not carry out particular work: for example, health and safety regulations would mean that a candidate with epilepsy would not be allowed to undertake a post involving driving; and

  2. Provide advice to departments to ensure that none of the role's duties will adversely affect any pre-existing health conditions the candidate has declared.
