Calculating the Expiry Date
Step 1 — Enter the year the medical was completed
Subtract the year of birth shown on the medical
This will identify the individuals age (then refer to table below to calculate expiry) Step 2 — The expiration date for this competency should always be calculated to occur on the applicants 40th birthday, so you would enter 40 minus the individuals age, then add this number to the current year which will give the year of expiry. The day and month will be as per date of birth.
Exceptions If the applicant had a full health assessment completed within 5 years of their 40th birthday you would then allocate an expiration of 5 years from the date the medical was completed. After the applicant passes the age of 40, medicals are to be completed every 5 years from the date the medical was completed. When the doctor has explicitly indicated an earlier review date than the natural expiry date, the status of the medical should be set as 'Fit for Duty Subject to Review' A 'Subject to Review' medical cannot be extended past the natural expiry date set by the system for the original medical
NOTE: The fitness for duty page of the TFNSW Contractor Health Assessment Request and Report Form can be accepted with an expiration of 40 years despite the declaration sentence which is printed on the form which states 'This assessment is only valid for five years from the date of my signature below.' However, if the doctor has explicitly indicated an earlier review date is required as a recommendation which is separate to that sentence / declaration, this should be used for the expiration date entry in onsite. | |
