Private Medicals
Private medical assessments are sometimes required for work, sport, insurance or other administrative purposes. At Double Bay Doctors, our GPs can assist with a range of private medicals, including pre-employment medicals and sports medical assessments.
Please note that some medical assessments, including certain visa, immigration, diving, aviation and commercial driving medicals, may need to be completed by an approved or accredited doctor. We recommend checking with the organisation requesting the medical to confirm whether a specific provider is required before booking your appointment.
PRE-EMPLOYMENT MEDICALS
A pre-employment medical is designed to assess your general health and fitness for a particular role. Depending on your employer’s requirements, this may include a medical history review, physical examination, completion of forms and any role-specific documentation.
In many cases, this can be completed in a single consultation. However, if your assessment requires additional testing, such as pathology, urine testing, imaging or other investigations, your GP may ask you to return for a follow up appointment once results are available.
SPORTS MEDICALS
Sports medicals may be required before participating in certain sporting activities, competitions, programs or events. Your GP will review the relevant forms, discuss your medical history and complete an appropriate assessment based on the requirements provided.
Please bring any forms or specific instructions with you to your appointment.
PRIVATE MEDICAL FEES
Private medical assessments are privately billed and do not attract a Medicare rebate.
Pre-employment and sports medical assessments start from $300 + GST, however fees may vary depending on the length, complexity and any additional documentation or testing requirements involved.
If a follow up appointment is required, standard appointment fees will apply.
Please check with your employer, organisation or sporting body to confirm whether they will reimburse the cost of your assessment.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Providing this information in advance gives your doctor the opportunity to review the requirements before your appointment and ensure they are as prepared as possible for your assessment.
