Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Many health conditions — such as high blood pressure or early cardiovascular risk — can develop without obvious symptoms. Regular check-ups help identify these issues early, when they’re often easier to manage.
This depends on your individual risk factors. Your GP can guide you based on your age, family history, and symptoms. Routine discussions often begin around age 50 — or earlier if there’s a family history of prostate cancer.
Absolutely. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Your GP can provide support, offer coping strategies, and, if appropriate, develop a Mental Health Treatment Plan for access to psychology services under Medicare.
This will vary by age and health history, but may include blood pressure monitoring, cholesterol testing, blood glucose levels, prostate health checks, skin checks, and bowel cancer screening from age 50.
Yes. Skin checks can be done during a standard appointment or booked as a dedicated skin assessment. We also offer cryotherapy and minor procedures if required.
