Chandler Macleod
April 1, 2019

As part of Chandler Macleod’s RAP commitments to integrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Businesses into our supply chain we will be utilising Spartan First’s services to ensure our candidates are fit for work.


Spartan First is a new full-service, majority Indigenous Australian owned and operated occupational healthcare company. They operate with full respect to the traditions and cultures of Indigenous Australian people by providing services to both corporate partner networks and Government healthcare bodies. Spartan First is a partnership formed by two privately owned organisations, Spartan Occupational Health Services and Spartan First.


Going forward, Spartan First will be completing pre-employment medicals for Chandler Macleod candidates.


Our Industrial team will pilot the Spartan First partnership, with our Mining and Construction candidates to follow given the ongoing successful partnership.



Amanda Clarke, GM at Spartan First has stated, “Spartan First are very excited to be partnering with Chandler Macleod for their occupational health requirements. Through this partnership it allows us, as a new start-up Indigenous occupational health provider, the exposure to demonstrate not only to Chandler Macleod, but also their clients that our commitment to quality assessments and communication does not waiver or alter at any time. Our vision and values are such that we are committed to supporting all clients and candidates which come through our clinic.”
