Occupational health assessment

 
 

What is an Occupational Health Assessment?

An occupational health assessment is an expert evaluation that explores how your mental health affects your ability to work — and how your work may affect your wellbeing. It provides clear recommendations for adjustments, support, or phased return plans to help you stay well at work.

 

Who is an Occupational Health Assessment for?

These assessments are for employees, employers, or insurers seeking guidance about work-related mental health needs. You may benefit if:

  • You’re off work due to stress, anxiety, burnout, or another mental health condition

  • You’re struggling with work-related pressures or environments

  • You need support with returning to work after time off

  • You’re experiencing discrimination, bullying, or performance difficulties linked to mental health

  • You’ve had a change in role, workload, or working capacity

  • You live with a long-term condition or neurodivergence (e.g. ADHD, autism, trauma)

  • Your employer requires a formal report for HR, adjustments, or legal purposes

Assessments can be self-referred, employer-funded, or part of a wider workplace wellbeing process. We support clients from all industries and backgrounds.

 

What does an Occupational Health Assessment involve?

  • 60–90 minute psychiatric or psychological evaluation

  • Review of mental health history, symptoms, and current functioning

  • Exploration of job role, demands, and work environment

  • Risk assessment (e.g. capacity, stress, burnout, safety)

  • Consideration of how health interacts with performance or attendance

  • Assessment of fitness for work (including full or modified duties)

  • Recommendations for phased return, flexible working, or adjustments

  • Advice on timeframes, monitoring, or ongoing support needs

  • Optional inclusion of diagnosis and treatment advice (if clinically relevant)

  • Clear, concise written report for employer, HR, or insurer

  • Reports framed with dignity, accuracy, and non-stigmatising language

  • Online or in-person appointments

  • Trauma-informed, inclusive, and neurodiversity-aware approach

Our approach
 

Our approach to Occupational Health Assessments

At Bloomfield Health, we believe occupational assessments should empower, not penalise. Our clinicians work with clarity and care to ensure you’re fairly represented and supported — whether you’re returning from burnout, navigating workplace conflict, or needing long-term accommodations. We balance clinical expertise with legal and organisational understanding, ensuring recommendations are realistic, respectful, and rights-based.

 

Not necessarily. You can self-refer or ask your employer to fund the assessment. We also work with insurers and HR teams.

Only with your consent. We’ll discuss what’s included, and you can review the report before it’s shared.
