The earlier the flu vaccine is provided, the more successful it is at reducing the prevalence of flu within the workplace. Jobfit begins the vaccine program before winter sets in, usually around March each year, to ensure employees are protected throughout the entire flu season. To find out more information about workplace flu vaccinations in 2012, call 1800 994 808 or email flu@jobfit.com.au
14 September 2010 Jobfit opens new Mount Gambier centre One of Australia’s leading occupational healthcare providers, Jobfit Health Group, will further expand its South Australian operations with the launch of a Mount Gambier centre on 23 September. After serving employers in the South-East from its Adelaide centre over a number of years, Jobfit will open a centre on Helen Street with its allied health partner, Northcare Physiotherapy. The opening comes at a time of growth for Jobfit, which has seen a number of new centres open across Australia in the past twelve months to cater for the increased demand in pre-employment medical assessments. Jobfit’s National General Manager, Steve Harvey, said “We are excited to open a centre in Mount Gambier which will extend our capacity to provide pre-employment medical services in the South-East”. “There is increasing demand for our services as a result of major resource and construction projects across Australia, also employers are recognising the importance of identifying any potential risks to the health and safety of employees”, Mr Harvey said. Mr Harvey said the new Mount Gambier centre will provide convenience for both employers and candidates located in the South-East, and employers looking to recruit from the region. 13 April 2010 Jobfit broadens healthcare services with acquisition of Northcare Jobfit Health Group (Jobfit) today announced that it has broadened its suite of healthcare services by acquiring the business operations of the Adelaide-based allied health business, Northcare Physiotherapy (Northcare). Northcare is a physiotherapy, sports injuries and rehabilitation business with approximately 80 staff located in 15 centres across South Australia and Sydney. Jobfit’s National General Manager, Steven Harvey, said the acquisition was part of a strategy to expand and diversify Jobfit’s comprehensive range of medical services. “Personal allied health services are a natural extension of our existing corporate healthcare operations and the acquisition of Northcare adds an important element to our overall strategy of diversification and expansion”. Northcare will retain all of its current locations, including its original flagship centre at Park Terrace, Salisbury. All employees of Northcare have accepted employment with Jobfit, taking its total workforce to 165 staff Australia-wide. “We acknowledge Northcare’s 15 year history and brand recognition, particularly in Adelaide’s northern suburbs. Northcare’s patients will continue to receive professional healthcare services from the dedicated staff they know and trust” said Mr Harvey. Jobfit’s Medical Director, Dr Chris Kelly, believes that previous Northcare directors, Andrew Aish, Jon Porter, and Richard Fuller will be integral to ensuring a seamless transition for both staff and patients. “We are delighted that Andrew, Jon and Richard have joined the Jobfit group, and we will work with them to continue building on the solid reputation they have developed over the past 15 years” said Dr Kelly. 30 March 2010 Jobfit expands network into Northern Queensland with acquisition of Occupational Medical Services Jobfit Health Group (Jobfit) has expanded its network of occupational medical services into Northern Queensland by acquiring the business operations of Gladstone-based Occupational Medical Services.
