How We Can Help

Prevention is one of the most valuable things a GP can offer. Regular check-ups and early advice help reduce your risk of chronic disease, whatever your age or health history.

We provide lifestyle support tailored to you, including quitting smoking, healthy eating and drinking, weight loss, stress management, sleep and exercise. We also offer Medicare-funded health assessments: the 45–49 health assessment for people at risk of developing chronic disease, and the annual over-75 health assessment, a thorough review of your lifestyle, medications, mobility and home safety.
