The benefits

If you are a worker, our WorkHealth checks are great because:

• You can get free, convenient health checks at work    
• You will learn more about your health
• We will tell you about your risk of getting preventable diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes and help you to do something about it  
• You get strictly confidential individual results, which are discussed with no one else      
• We will show you positive ways you can reduce risk factors and maintain good health
• If workers need to make some changes, we offer a free and confidential WorkHealth coach program  

If you are an employer, WorkHealth checks are good for your business because:

• Warning signs can be picked up before symptoms emerge, leading to less sick leave and healthier workers who are less prone to workplace injuries
• It can increase productivity          
• It will raise the morale of your workers    
• The checks are free, but the cost of absenteeism due to sickness is around $2,800 per worker*   
• Reduces staff turnover    
• Quick for your workers to do our health checks – and done on site
• Easy to organise – we can schedule them around your time table
