MEDICALS
There are many occasions when we are required to have a medical examination completed. We do a whole range of these including pre employment medicals, insurance and RMS or drivers licence medicals. Please call us and tell us what you are requiring to have completed, make an appointment and then we can help you to get it done.
Health Assessments:
There are several government-funded programs in general practice aimed at optimising health care by early detection of risk factors for illnesses and disease. We offer them all to you as below:
45-49 Year Old Health Assessment – Bulk Billed
Even if your health has been great up until this time there are some things worth noting that can alter your future health. This check may help identify some of the routine health checks that you have missed out on, asymptomatic conditions that may alter your risk of stroke or heart attack like family history or high blood pressure or cholesterol. Please help us to be proactive with you and book in for a 45-49 year old health check if you haven’t had one yet or mention it to your GP at your next visit.
Over 75 Year Old Health Assessment – Bulk Billed
We know that good support at home both structurally (i.e. bathroom safety equipment/bed poles and stair lifts etc.) and socially (assistance with activities of daily living like showering, shopping and cleaning) can help maintain people living independently in their own homes for longer if that is their wish. This annual check can find and attempt to reduce these risk factors for failing independence and autonomy associated with ageing. It is thorough and helps us to identify any outstanding medical issues that may not have been previously addressed.
Aboriginal Health Assessment – Bulk Billed
These assessments are available to anyone identifying as aboriginal or Torres Strait islander – so please let us know if you are eligible and we will arrange for an assessment.
PAEDIATRIC CARE
ADOLESCENT CARE
GERIATRICS
Certain Government funded immunisations are available as well, ask your GP. We offer bulk billed annual check-ups to our patients over 75 years. We also offer bulk billed visits and consultations for residents in local Aged Care Facilities.
Skin Clinics and Minor Surgical Procedures
POINT OF CARE TESTING
MINOR SURGICAL PROCEDURES
Implanon Insertion and IUD Insertion

MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND PLANS
Good mental health is vital and mental health issues are common. Regardless of your age we can support you with a vast range of issues from anxiety to depression, schizophrenia, grief and post traumatic stress. If appropriate we are able to provide you with a Chronic Disease Management Plan and referral to see our Mental Health Worker or if eligible a ‘mental health care plan’ for psychology sessions which have a Medicare rebate. We can support and assist you to access other more specific mental health service referrals including psychiatry.
