Annual Health Assessment
Annual Health Check for Patients Aged 75 and Over
If you’re 75 years or older and living at home, you are eligible for a bulk-billed annual health assessment — meaning there is no cost to you. This yearly check-up provides a comprehensive overview of your current health and wellbeing, helping you to maintain independence, stay active in your community, and access any support you may need.
Why Is This Health Check Important?
The purpose of the annual assessment is to identify any risk factors or early signs of health concerns that may benefit from further attention. It also considers the broader aspects of your physical, emotional, and social wellbeing.
This holistic approach ensures your care plan supports all aspects of your life, allowing you to remain healthy, independent, and connected.
