KINNECT is the preferred Medical Provider for Queensland Ambulance Service Clinical Placement & Graduate Paramedic Program.
University students who are completing a clinical placement with Queensland Ambulance Service and/or Graduate Paramedics are required to undertake a Medical Assessment through KINNECT.
There are several important steps to follow to book your Medical Assessment with KINNECT.
You must complete each step in numerical order (e.g. Step 1 and then Step 2).
Please note that you must provide all requested information at each step for your medical assessment to be completed.
Step 1 – Provide Your Immunisation History
Step 2 – Book & Pay for Your Assessment
Step 3 – Appointment Confirmation
STEP 1
Provide your Immunisation History
Before you can commence your medical assessment with KINNECT, we need to know that you have previously had the following immunisations:
- Hepatitis B
- Whooping Cough (Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis)
- Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
- Varicella
- Tuberculosis* (only required in certain instances)
*For more information, please download the QAS Immunisation Guidance Document.
Upload Your Immunisation Evidence to Carelever Comply
To do this, you will need to access Carelever Comply, an online portal where you can record and upload evidence for each of the immunisations stated above.
A $53.90 verification fee will be payable when you register for a Carelever Comply account.
Please thoroughly read the Student Guide to Carelever Comply before uploading your immunisation history.
Important Information About Compliance Certificates
A KINNECT Clinician will review each immunisation type separately.
You will receive an email to advise you when the immunisation has been verified.
One compliance certificate is issued per immunisation type.
To proceed to Step 2:
- All immunisation types must be marked as compliant
You cannot move forward until every immunisation you require has been individually verified.
- Once all immunisations are compliant, you must generate a SINGLE full compliance certificate using the ‘Download Record’ button.
This final certificate—available in Carelever Comply—lists all vaccination types together.
This is the only certificate that should be uploaded to the form in Step 2.
What Happens If You Upload Incorrect or Incomplete Certificates?
If you submit a referral without the full combined compliance certificate:
- Your referral will be cancelled
- Your payment will be refunded
- You will need to submit a new referral once the correct certificate is available
Do not proceed to Step 2 until Step 1 has been fully completed, including downloading and saving your complete compliance certificate.
STEP 2

ℹ️ Please ensure you check your inbox and spam folder for your results
Further Medical Information
If, during the medical assessment process, a medical condition is identified that requires further medical investigation and/or information from a treating doctor, KINNECT will contact you and provide a referral letter to take to your treating doctor.
Once information is received from your treating doctor, KINNECT’s doctor will review it and make the Fitness for Work Determination.
A fee ($184 + GST) will be charged to cover the cost of the referral letter and the review of the additional information by the KINNECT Doctor.
To avoid a further medical review being required, KINNECT encourage you to bring supporting documentation to your appointment should you have a medical / health condition and/or current injury. Supporting documentation may include:
- Letter from your treating Doctor / Medical Specialist
- Pathology and/or Radiology Results
Please note that KINNECT will not provide advice or guidance as to what medical information you or your treating doctor should provide. We encourage you to refer to the Queensland Ambulance Service Medical Standards or discuss with the University.
