A Fitness for Work/Duty Assessment is an assessment that determines if an individual is psychologically fit to perform specific job duties safely and effectively. It is mainly used for non-work-related injuries, when employers need more information about an individual's ability to meet the expectations of the role.

The assessment considers various factors, such as:

medical history
current health status
medication use
relevant job demands or safety requirements

The goal is to ensure that individuals are fit to perform their job duties without posing a risk to themselves, their colleagues, or the general public. Fitness for Work assessments are used to find solutions to complex injury management cases and to support employees with mental health conditions to safely stay at or return to work.
