Services

A health assessment of an older person is an in-depth assessment of a patient aged 75 years and over. 

The over 75 health assessment is an annual comprehensive assessment of physical, psychological and social well-being for those aged 75 and over, and offers preventative health care and education. It is offered nationwide to all people aged 75 and over, excluding those currently in hospital or those in residential aged care facilities.

Following the visit at the clinic with our nurse, you will be required to have a follow-up appointment with your Doctor to discuss the results of your health assessment. This usually occurs the same day as your visit with the nurse.  Alternatively, the nurse conducting your assessment will make a follow-up appointment for you before you leave the clinic.

Importantly, the health assessment is at no cost to you. This includes both the consultation with the nurse and the follow-up appointment with your doctor.

Whilst it is not compulsory to have this health assessment we strongly encourage you to take advantage of this valuable service being offered to you.

This comprehensive Health Assessment service has been well received by our aged patients and provides families with ‘peace of mind’ knowing that yet another check is performed for their loved ones.

Adequate time needs to be arranged for such an assessment so please inform the receptionist of this when booking.
