Physical and medical fitness
37 Physical and medical fitness
The Chief Officer may, from time to time, require a member to undergo a medical examination or test to determine—
the member's physical or medical capability; or
the physical or medical capability of a person to perform the functions and duties of a member.
A medical examination or test under subregulation (1) is to be conducted—
by a person specified by the Chief Officer; and
in relation to the brigade functions and duties specified by the Chief Officer; and
at the Authority's expense.
The Chief Officer may suspend a member's enrolment if the member unreasonably refuses—
to undergo the medical examination or test as directed by the Chief Officer; or
to submit to the Chief Officer a medical certificate in relation to the examination or test.
A member suspended under subregulation (3) remains suspended until the Chief Officer is satisfied the member has undergone a medical examination or test or submitted a medical certificate (as the case requires).
If a member knows, or becomes aware, of a matter which would significantly affect the member's capacity to perform their duties or functions as a member, the member must, as soon as practicable, advise the Chief Officer of the matter.
The failure of a member to comply with subregulation (5) does not disqualify the member from receiving compensation under these Regulations.
