Fortescue Contingent Labour Hire Medical Assessments
Contractors needing access to a Fortescue site are responsible for ensuring the health and safety of their employees. To meet this requirement, contractors are asked to conduct medical assessments using KINNECT, a preferred supplier for Fortescue and a leading provider of occupational health and safety services. To set up an account with KINNECT and request medical assessments for your employees, please follow the steps below.
Step 1
Submit your Company Information
If you’d like to set up a credit account with KINNECT, please submit the form below and agree to the terms and conditions outlined within. This will allow you to streamline the process for ongoing medical assessments and other services.
However, if you’d prefer not to establish an account and simply wish to make ad hoc purchases, KINNECT also offers a convenient pre-paid option. This can be easily accessed via the designated page on our website.
Step 2
User Accounts
Each company representative that will be requesting medicals, will require their own user account to our online system, Carelever.
Using the below form, please populate all the names, emails and contact details for those who will require a user account. You can add more by using the + button.
Step 3
Carelever Setup and Availability for Training
After setting up your Carelever account, we will conduct a brief online training session with relevant users to showcase how to use Carelever to request Fortescue Contractor medical assessments. Once the training session is complete, you will be able to independently submit requests for medical assessments through Carelever.
Please provide three dates and times that work for you, and we will schedule the training session accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions

No there are no setup fees.
Yes, there may be additional fees in some cases. Further medical testing or investigations may be required based on the initial assessment. If this occurs, we will contact you to explain what is needed and the associated costs. You will have the option to approve or decline these additional services.
Additionally, fees may apply for cancelling or rescheduling appointments. Full details of these fees can be found on our website at the following link: https://www.kinnect.com.au/cancellation-reschedule-policy/
If you only intend to order once or very infrequently, you can use our pre-paid online portal to lodge and pay for your Fortescue Medicals
No, KINNECT will not automatically send Fortescue a copy of any medicals you organise with them.
If during the assessment process a candidate is identified to have a medical condition that requires further medical investigation and/or information from a treating doctor (as per Fortescue’s set medical standards), KINNECT will contact the candidate and provide a referral letter to take to their treating doctor. Upon receiving this information back from the candidate, KINNECT’s Doctor will review the information and make the Fitness for Work Determination.
This fee ($184 + GST) is to cover the cost of the referral letter, review of the additional information and a final fitness for work determination by the KINNECT Doctor.
To avoid a further medical review being required, KINNECT encourage candidates to bring supporting documentation to their appointment should they have a medical / health condition and/or current injury. Supporting documentation may include:
- Letter from their treating Doctor / Medical Specialist
- Pathology and/or Radiology Results
