This extract does not contain all components of the QPS Health Standards.  \nThe Queensland Police Service (QPS) requires recruits and police officers to perform their duties without detriment to the safety and welfare of themselves, other members of the Service or members of the public. Consideration needs to be given to many factors including: access to medication, treatment or equipment, the aggravation of existing medical conditions, and the risk imposed upon other police officers or the general public while remaining operationally effective during adverse and/or unpredictable conditions, sometimes for extended periods of time.  \nA person must demonstrate sufficient physical and mental fitness to meet the genuine occupational requirements, key accountabilities (Appendix A) and demands of a General Duties Police Officer with none or limited foreseeable risk as a result of meeting these expectations for up to three years not including training.  \nDetermining Medical Suitability  \nThe process to assess an applicant’s suitability to become a QPS recruit/officer, including the Pre-Employment Medical Screening (PEMS) assessment stage, is based on an applicant’s ability to meet the genuine occupational requirements and demands of a Queensland general duties police officer. Any medical condition which could suddenly and/or unexpectedly render a person incapable of carrying out the duties of a police officer, or prevent them from automatically performing those duties, may make the applicant unsuitable in terms of their physical and mental fitness.  \nWhen determining merit in relation to meeting the QPS Health Standards, the PEMS provider also need to consider information relating to any identified medical condition which may/will have an impact on an individual over time.  \nThe following critical factors must be considered where a medical condition is identified:  \n• Is the medical condition prone to sudden deterioration which may render the applicant suddenly and/or unexpectedly incapable of undertaking duties?  \n• Is the functional ability or safety and welfare of the applicant dependent on uninterrupted access to treatment, special dietary concession, aids, or equipment?  \n• Will the medical condition allow the applicant to remain operationally effective under adverse or abnormal conditions for extended periods of time?  \n• Could the medical condition expose other police officers or members of the public to a risk of serious harm and/or injury?  \n• Could the performance of policing duties be expected to aggravate an existing medical condition?  \n• Will the medical condition allow the uninterrupted completion of the physical training program?  \nWhere the provider is able to make a determination on the medical fitness of an applicant in accordance with the Health Standards, they will then advise QPS Recruiting of aclassification in line with the QPS Health Standards- ‘Fit for Policing’, or ‘Not Fit for Policing’. In the case where a condition is identified and the PEMS provider does not have the required information to make a final determination in accordance with the Health Standards within a reasonable time frame, the PEMS provider will advise QPS Recruiting that their determination is ‘Otherwise – Unable to Classify’. In these cases, the associated recruit application is to be ceased until such a time that sufficient evidence, as outlined within the Health Standards, is provided to the PEMS provider for a determination to be made.  \nNote: The individual Health Standard components (Physical Health and Mental Health) are very specific, with fixed criteria. If the standard clearly indicates that a person does not meet a component of the Health Standards, then the critical factors cannot be used to determine suitability. Suitability must be made in accordance with the components of Health Standards.  \nGenuine Occupational Requireme","cbCaie7SmMlTMFoX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie7SmMlTMFoX","pdf",2597796,"English","# Determining Medical Suitability\n## Critical factors when a medical condition is identified\n# Genuine Occupational Requirements of a General Duties Police Officers\n## General requirements\n## Physical requirements\n## Communication requirements\n## Observation and memory skills","[{\"question\":\"Which medical-condition factors must be considered when a condition is identified?\",\"answer\":\"The provider must consider risks such as sudden deterioration, dependence on uninterrupted access to treatment or equipment, ability to remain operationally effective during adverse conditions, potential exposure of others to serious harm, and whether policing duties could aggravate the condition or disrupt completion of physical training.\"}]","QPS Health Standards (Extract only) | PDF"]
