What is a Health Check?
Health Checks, also known as health assessments, are designed to support your physical, social and emotional wellbeing. A nurse can provide health education, prevent future illness such as advising on available immunisations, and pick up early treatable issues such as high blood pressure.
How much does a Health Check cost?
Your Health Check will be bulk-billed.
