Starting a career in the mining industry means you will need to pass a pre-employment medical and a fitness test. If you take regular medication, it is completely normal to wonder how it might affect your job prospects when applying for FIFO roles. When you go for your medical check, you must disclose any medication you are currently on. If your medication impacts your driving skills or stops you from doing normal day-to-day duties, it could cause issues with getting onto a mine site. However, if you can perform your duties safely, there is a simple way to prepare. Before heading to your appointment, it is highly recommended to get a certificate from your GP. This letter should state exactly what medication you take and confirm that it does not restrict you from tasks like driving. As long as you disclose your medication and pass the medical and fitness tests, there is no reason why you cannot be successful in securing mining jobs.
