    Holme and Bornholdt's medical examinations were conducted by a GP at the Victoria University campus. Bornholdt was recovering from a broken clavicle and required subsequent visits to a specialist to monitor the status of his recovery. His recovery progressed very well and he was eventually deemed fit by the specialist and did not suffer any related difficulties during the field season. Hicock's medical exam was conducted by a GP in Ontario, Canada.
