A health assessment is a longer, more comprehensive appointment with our Practice Nurse and your GP.
Importantly, the purpose of this health assessment is to help identify any risk factors that may require further health management. In addition to assessing a person’s health status, a health assessment is used to identify a broad range of factors that influence a person’s physical, psychological and social functioning.
At Bellerive Health Hub we perform the following Health Assessments:
45-49 year old Health Assessment
A health assessment at this stage of life can assist patients to make the necessary lifestyle changes to prevent or delay the onset of chronic disease
75 years and older
The purpose of this health assessment is to help identify any risk factors exhibited by patients over 75 years of age that may require further health management. This health assessment is used to identify factors that influence a person's physical, psychological and social functioning and is conducted on an annual basis
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
The aim is to help ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people receive health care matched to their needs, by encouraging early detection, diagnosis and intervention for conditions that cause morbidity and early mortality. The health assessment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people covers the full age spectrum
To book your health assessment call us on 61220150 – please inform our Reception Staff that you'd like to have a Health Assessment when booking your appointment, so that sufficient time with the Practice Nurse and GP can be arranged.
There are no out-of-pocket costs for any of these assessments.
