What happens if I fail the medical assessment?
If you do not meet the medical standards, you may receive a restricted medical certificate. This certificate will limit the type of work you are allowed to perform, potentially excluding offshore roles or other positions that require full medical clearance.
You may be advised to do more assessments or additional testing to further assess your health & if it can be improved.
If you fail the medical assessment, you may be able to appeal the decision or ask for a review of your medical results. This usually means providing extra documents or proof from your doctor that shows you are fit to work.
