A Medicare funded health assessment for people aged 45 to 49, designed to identify small changes early and support proactive, preventative care
Your mid 40s feeling like a mix of busy schedules, work stress, family life, poor sleep, hormones, fitness goals and trying to drink more water? This is exactly why it can be the perfect time to properly check in on your health and focus on preventative screening before small issues become bigger ones.
Many health changes can happen gradually and without obvious symptoms. Things like blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, stress and energy levels can slowly shift over time and may be early indicators of underlying health risks such as heart health changes, metabolic concerns or reduced energy balance. This is why preventative health checks are so valuable. Identifying small changes early is often far easier than treating bigger health concerns later on. Prevention is better than cure.
That is why, together with Medicare, we offer a bulk billed 45 to 49 Year Old Health Assessment.
At Next Practice Prahran, we see this as a comprehensive preventative health check in. A chance to pause, look at the bigger picture of your health, and create a plan for feeling well long term.
Your appointment begins with one of our nurses, where we take an overview of your:
- Lifestyle and stress
- Sleep and energy
- Nutrition and movement
- Family and medical history
- Blood pressure and overall health markers
- Preventative screening needs, including a diabetes risk assessment
You will then spend time with your GP to review everything together, discuss your personal risk factors, and organise any recommended follow up care, testing or wellness strategies if needed.Even if you feel healthy, this assessment can help identify subtle risk factors early and give you peace of mind that your health is on the right track.
Prevention is not just about avoiding illness. It is about optimising how you feel now and investing in your future health.
Eligible patients aged 45 to 49 can access this assessment bulk billed through Medicare.
