75+ Health Assessment
If you’re 75 years or older, you may be eligible for a free annual health check, fully covered by Medicare. At Southern Doctors Clinic, Campsie, our 75+ Health Assessment helps you stay healthy, independent, and supported as you age.
What does the 75+ Health Assessment include?
Your GP and nurse will take time to review your overall health and wellbeing. The check may cover:
Medical history and medication review
Mobility, balance, vision, hearing, continence, and falls risk
Memory and cognitive screening
Mental health and social support
Advice on nutrition, exercise, vaccinations, and healthy ageing
Advance care planning, if relevant
How often can I have it?
You can have a Medicare 75+ Health Assessment once every 12 months. This annual check ensures your health is monitored regularly and that you receive the care you need.
Is there a cost?
There is no cost. The 75+ Health Assessment is bulk-billed through Medicare, so eligible patients will not incur any out-of-pocket expenses.
What happens after the assessment?
Your GP will provide a personalised care plan and discuss next steps. This may include:
Written summary of your results
Referrals to allied health professionals or community services
Ongoing follow-up to support your health goals
