For student’s to be compliant as an Around the Track Personnel and QR Operators, they are required to undertake a Category 3 Medical.
The medical includes an assessment of:
- Hearing (up to 2000 Hz)
- Vision
- Mobility
This medical is valid from the date of the issue until the employee reaches 40 years of age. Periodic health assessments every 5 years thereafter are necessary.
They are for anyone who are non-safety critical workers where their health will not impact directly on the safety of the rail network or the public. These medical assessments will check the ability of a worker to walk in the rail corridor, work under supervision and identify and move to a safe place.
Once you have obtained this, it will need to be uploaded to RIW and will then sit against any Job Roles that require this as a pre-requisite.
Unfortunately, at this time, Accell is unable to offer Category 3 Medicals to our students.
However, we recommend organising this service through Sonic Health or Jobfit due to their wide variety of locations and availability Australia wide.
