Introduction

Djinda Health coordinates OGUK and OEUK medical assessments for offshore oil, gas and maritime workers.

Assessments are available at our Riverton clinic in Perth, Western Australia, and through participating partner clinics across Australia. Limited arrangements are also available in New Zealand, subject to location and appointment availability.

What is an OGUK Medical?

An OGUK Medical (formerly UKOOA Medical) is a comprehensive occupational health assessment mandated for personnel working offshore in the oil and gas industry. It ensures you are medically fit to work in remote, hazardous environments.

In 2022, OGUK was renamed OEUK (Offshore Energies UK), but the term “OGUK Medical” is still widely used internationally. Both refer to the same standard.
