Calculating the Expiry Date

Step 1

  • Enter the current year
  • 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.

Example for medical conducted in 2017:
2017 - 1991 = 26
40 - 26 = 14
2017 + 14 = 2031

Exception

  1. If the applicant had the medical completed within 12 months of their 40th birthday you would then
    allocate an expiration of 5 years
  2. After the applicant passes the age of 40, medicals are to be completed every 5 years
  3. When the doctor has explicitly indicated an earlier review date is required this date must be entered
    as the expiry


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.

Medicals submitted between 1 Feb 2016 and 1 Nov 2016

Medicals submitted 1 Nov 2016 onwards

During this period only rail medicals which have been completed by a doctor
that is registered on the national Authorised Health Professional list (seen on http://railindustryworker.com.au/) can be accepted unless the assessment was
completed prior to 1 Feb 2016 in which case the PTA WA list of AHP will also
be accepted.

 

Only medicals which have been completed by a doctor that is registered on the national AHP list will be accepted
(seen on http://railindustryworker.com.au/) – There will be
no recognition of AHP registrations shown on previous
PTA AHP lists regardless of the date in which the assessment took place.

    • The issue date in Onsite should be recorded as the date the assessment or appointment took place.

    NOTE:The date for the signature requirement of the examining AHP should not be used in lieu of the
    assessment date if this information is missing from the form.

    NOTE: If you receive a medical document where more than one assessment date / date of completion
    is shown: Please use the assessment date from the fitness for duty page

    Calculating the Expiry Date

    Step 1

    • Enter the current year
    • 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.

    Example for medical conducted in 2017:
    2017 - 1991 = 26
    40 - 26 = 14
    2017 + 14 = 2031

    Exception

    1. If the applicant had the medical completed within 12 months of their 40th birthday you would then
      allocate an expiration of 5 years
    2. After the applicant passes the age of 40, medicals are to be completed every 5 years
    3. When the doctor has explicitly indicated an earlier review date is required this date must be entered
      as the expiry

For PTA employee whereby email verification from PTA is supplied:

  • Issue date to be recorded in Onsite as the date in which the medical assessment / appointment took place (as shown on the evidence)
  • Expiry date to be recorded as shown on the uploaded evidence
