Do I need a railway medical?
A Rail Safety Medical is required under and conducted in line with the National Standard for Health Assessment of Rail Safety Workers. Under the rail safety legislation, it is the responsibility of all rail transport operators to manage the risks associated with the ill health of rail safety workers in Australia. Rail Safety Medicals are designed to both minimise risk and protect the safety of the public, rail workers and the environment.
Which railway medical do I need?
Often your employer will specify which rail medical you require however, when undertaking additional training or exploring new opportunities, it can be helpful to understand the differences in medicals and which one will be the most relevant to you.
This page will outline the three different types of railway medicals and provide advice to determine which medical is right for you.
