Document what a role actually requires — before it’s a dispute.
A Job Demands Assessment sets out the real physical requirements of a role — objectively measured, not guessed from a position description. It’s the single reference point that makes recruitment, RTW, and injury management decisions defensible. Servicing Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter.
Enquire →One assessment, four uses.
Pre-employment matching
Match a candidate’s functional capacity to the role’s real demands before they start.
Return to work
Set suitable duties against documented demands, not guesswork about what’s “light.”
Injury management & claims
An objective reference point when a claim or dispute turns on what the role actually requires.
Role & task design
Identify where a role’s demands exceed what’s reasonable, before it becomes an injury pattern.
A document that holds up when it’s tested.
Not a checklist — a structured Job Demands document that names the physical requirements of a role in measurable terms, ready to sit alongside a position description or a claim file.
- Physical demands by task — force, posture, frequency, duration
- Environmental and cognitive demands where relevant
- Photographed/documented for objectivity
