A person's mid 40s - 50s represents an important period of time in their life. Ageing increases the likelihood of certain health problems occurring in midlife compared to our younger years. This incudes obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and osteoarthritis. And when you have one medical condition, your likelihood of getting another, otherwise known as a comorbidity, also increases.

That is why a 45-49 health assessment is so important - To identify risk factors commonly experienced in midlife early and prevent chronic conditions before they develop, and also manage existing conditions.

Designed as a bulk billed and once off 1-hour preventative health check, it is a good opportunity for our healthcare team to holistically explore your physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing.

You might feel well, but high blood pressure doesn’t always cause symptoms unless severe.

Hence why it is important that you regularly check your blood pressure with a doctor. A quick 15 minute consultation can help prevent many cardiovascular conditions, kidney disease and even dementia.

Routine check ups are available everyday.

You can be bulk billed for your blood pressure check if you have a:
✅ Heart health assessment (30+ and over, once yearly)
✅ 45 - 49 health assessment (once off)
✅ 75+ health assessment (once yearly)
✅ New or existing GP chronic condition management plan (up to 5 check-ups per year!)*

*Consultations that do not involve creating or reviewing a GP chronic condition management plan may be privately charged unless you are a pensioner with a face-to-face consultation with a doctor between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm on weekdays.

Hypertension was the leading risk factor for mortality in Australia in 2023.

One cuff can ensure it no longer has to be.
