This once-off and bulk billed health assessment focuses on adults aged 45–49 years, a life stage where risk factors for chronic diseases can develop or become more common, often without noticeable symptoms. Maintaining good health and identifying potential risk factors early are essential for preventing chronic diseases and promoting long-term wellbeing.
This assessment explores key aspects of physical, mental and social health, including heart health, mental health, endocrine and metabolic health, reproductive health, musculoskeletal function, kidney and liver function, nutrition, gastrointestinal health, current medical history, medications, vaccinations and social wellbeing. It also involves patient education, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to make informed health decisions and effectively take care of your own health as you age.
In addition to patient education, you may have your medications adjusted, referred to certain allied health professionals, specialists, for radiology scans and pathology services, receive vaccinations and chronic condition management plans for additional care.
This assessment is one hour long and typically involves both a nurse and your regular doctor.
