-
who have a history of sexual contact of any kind, even if you're not currently sexually active

45-49 YEAR OLD HEALTH ASSESSMENT
Your GP and practice nurse will help identify your risk factors that may increase your likelihood of developing a chronic disease (e.g. heart disease, diabetes etc.). This involves:
-
examining your recent blood test report (within the last 1-2 months),
-
perform a diabetes and cardiovascular risk assessment,
-
go through your family medical history,
-
discuss lifestyle modifications where appropriate.
​​
This is a ONCE-only health assessment that is fully bulk-billed.
Please note: If you are required to have a blood test, a standard consult fee applies to obtain the pathology referral. The bulk-billed health assessment will take place in your second visit when you attend for follow-up of results.
Bowel Cancer Screening
From 1 July 2024, the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program is now for people aged 45 to 74 years who are NOT experiencing signs and symptoms of bowel cancer. Screening every two years increases the chances of finding abnormalities or cancer, with over 90% of bowel cancers treatable, if found early.
​

Eligible people aged 50 to 74 will continue to receive a bowel screening kit in the mail every 2 years.
