The Department of Home Affairs is seeking suppliers to re-establish the Job Roles Assessment and Services (JRAS) Panel through an open tender to replace the existing panel arrangement due to expire in 2027. The Department requires access to suitably qualified and experienced providers to deliver a range of health-related assessment and associated services that support the health, wellbeing and fitness of the Home Affairs Portfolio workforce, assisting assessment of candidate suitability and ensuring existing workers continue to meet role health and fitness requirements. Required service capabilities include medical and fitness assessments (medical assessments and fitness testing), psychological and psychometric assessments, exposure to abhorrent, violent or objectionable materials services (including wellbeing check programs, general monitoring and specialist monitoring services), and vaccinations and communicable disease testing. The resulting panel will be established under a Deed of Standing Offer with individual requirements engaged through Work Orders, will be led by the Department of Home Affairs to support the broader Home Affairs Portfolio including the Australian Border Force, and will also be available for use by other Commonwealth agencies.
