45-49 Health Assessment

If you're 45 to 49 years old and at risk of developing a chronic disease, you are eligible for a fully bulk-billed, once-only health assessment under Medicare at Southern Doctors Clinic, Campsie. This proactive check helps uncover early signs of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure to support a healthier future.

What does the assessment include?

Your comprehensive assessment may involve:

  • Measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, weight, height, blood sugar, and cholesterol

  • Review of lifestyle factors—diet, physical activity, smoking, alcohol use, sleep, and stress

  • Check of immunisation status and overall fitness

  • Discussion of medications and any ongoing health concerns

  • Identification of early risk signs for chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or kidney issues

  • Your GP will go through the results with you and offer customised health advice and recommendations

How often can I have it done?

This Medicare-funded health assessment is available once only for eligible patients aged 45–49 who meet risk criteria.

Is there a cost?

No. If you have a valid Medicare card and meet the criteria, the 45–49 Health Assessment is bulk-billed, meaning no out-of-pocket cost for you.

What happens after the assessment?

Following your check, your GP will provide:

  • A written report summarising findings and suggestions

  • A personalised care plan, including referrals if needed

  • Follow-up arrangements to monitor your health and support any care needs
