Health Checks
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are entitled to a free health check every 9-12 months. This takes around 45 minutes where you will see both the nurse and doctor.
We will check your blood pressure, blood sugar levels, height and weight and address any other health concerns you may have. Once you finish the check the doctor might tell you about other ways to help look after your health.
They might suggest services to help you with your heart, vision, hearing, movement or mental health You may also get help with accessing free or discounted medicines you might need. Your Doctor can give you information about Closing the Gap.
If this is something you are interested in please let reception know when you book your appointment so we can organise sufficient time.
