Business Description

For agencies it carries out pre employment functional assessments on candidates being placed into physically demanding roles across warehousing, manufacturing, logistics and transport.

Executive and Employee Health Assessments

Rising Phoenix Care assesses candidates against the physical demands of the role they are being placed into, so an agency can decide on a placement with a clinician’s written opinion behind it.

  • Assessment covers lifting, carrying, manual handling and functional capacity, matched to the physical requirements of the specific role rather than a generic screen.
  • A standardised, documented protocol is applied to every candidate, so results are comparable across a group of placements and the basis for each decision is on the record.
  • Every assessment produces a written report with one of three recommendations: fit, fit with modifications, or further review.
  • Assessments are carried out by an AHPRA registered physiotherapist with clinical experience across neurological rehabilitation, post surgical orthopaedics, aged care and disability.

Best for: labour hire and recruitment agencies placing workers into warehousing, manufacturing, logistics and transport roles who need a defensible view of physical capacity before a start date.

Pre-Employment Testing

Rising Phoenix Care runs its pre employment testing as a mobile service across Brisbane and the Logan area, which is what makes the turnaround fast enough to keep a placement moving.

  • Fully mobile delivery: the physiotherapist travels to the candidate or the workplace rather than requiring attendance at a clinic.
  • Coverage spans inner Brisbane, the northern, southern, eastern and western suburbs, and the Logan area.
  • Assessments are booked by phone or email and run Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 5:00pm.

Best for: agencies with placements to fill quickly across greater Brisbane who need a candidate assessed on site and a report back without delay.
