Providers of Medical Assessments for Industry
With Over 30 Years of Experience
About Us
Company Medical Services (CMS) was established as a consulting Occupational Medicine practice founded in 1984 on the premise that “Healthy happy people are more productive”. OH&S has evolved considerably over the past 36 years. It is no longer simply about safety and management of Workers Compensation claims nor is it any more the forum of numerous major industrial disputes. Informed employers now realise that healthy, happy people are indeed more productive. They appreciate that recruiting appropriate people and ensuring they are medically fit for and are well trained for jobs that are safe and ergonomically sound is a risk mitigation strategy that both enhances profitability and reduces costs.
This approach extends also to the establishment of corporate cultures that consider psychological, emotional and behavioural issues. These may lead to the development of Employee Assistance Programs and to the establishment and implementation of Drug & Alcohol Management Program (DAMP) and policies that are becoming commonplace, especially in safety critical industries. This is the face of medicine in industry today and CMS is at the forefront, not only professionally but also with respect to the personalised services we provide to our clients, with several of whom we have been associated for many years.
Today we remain a privately owned business, with strong moral values and a corporate outlook. We employ over 50 staff comprised of a mix of doctors, nurses and admin staff. We service a diverse industry segment ranging from manufacturing, construction, transport, rail, off shore and diving, aviation, travel, and service industries. Our clients come from both government agencies and private enterprises to which we have contracted service offerings.
Our point of differentiation is the ability to be flexible, operate on the premises of our clients and turn around medical results on the same day. We have specialist physicians and registered nurses that are mobile and can cover all geographies. We provide advisory and consultancy services ranging from the establishment and review of policy frameworks, and training materials to aid risk mitigation in the work force.
