Functional Assessments.

Practical, evidence-based Functional Assessments

At Wellness International Ltd., we recognise the importance of matching physical ability with job demands. Our Functional Assessments are designed to evaluate whether an individual can safely and effectively perform the essential tasks associated with their role—helping reduce injury risk and support workplace adjustments where needed.

Whether for a new hire, a return-to-work case, or part of ongoing capability reviews, our assessments provide clear, objective insights that enable employers to make informed, responsible decisions.

Tailored & Professionally Delivered

Our Functional Assessments are designed to evaluate how well an individual can perform the physical tasks required by their role. Each assessment is:

  • Job-specific, focusing on the physical movements and demands relevant to the employee’s position.
  • Conducted in a supportive and confidential environment, ensuring comfort and dignity throughout the process.
  • Led by experienced occupational health professionals, trained to identify limitations, recommend adjustments, and support safe, sustainable working practices.

Supporting Workforce Capability with Minimal Disruption

Functional Assessments play a crucial role in determining whether employees are physically able to perform key aspects of their role safely and effectively. Our service is designed to integrate seamlessly with your operations, reducing downtime while delivering accurate, job-specific evaluations.

Whether you’re assessing new hires, managing return-to-work cases, or monitoring ongoing capability, our assessments are tailored to the demands of your industry—helping you make confident, informed decisions that prioritise safety, performance, and employee wellbeing.

Promoting Capability Through Practical Assessments

Our task-based assessments are tailored to individual roles and responsibilities, including but not limited to:
