45-49yrs Health Check
A proactive, two-step health assessment to identify early health risks and support long-term wellbeing.
A 45–49 Health Check is a Medicare-supported preventative health assessment designed to identify early risk factors for chronic disease such as heart disease and diabetes. This is a structured, team-based assessment, involving both our nursing team and your GP.
How your health assessment works
To ensure a thorough and accurate assessment, your health check is completed in two stages:
Nurse-led assessment
- A review of your medical history and lifestyle factors
- Blood pressure, height, weight, and general health measurements
- Blood tests and pathology requests arranged by your GP
- ECG (heart tracing), if clinically appropriate
- Initial risk screening for cardiovascular and metabolic conditions
- Identification of any health concerns for GP review
GP review and health planning
- Review your test results and clinical findings
- Assess your overall health risk profile
- Discuss any early signs of chronic disease risk
- Talk through your lifestyle, goals, and priorities
- Develop a preventative health plan tailored to you
- Document your health assessment outcomes as required for Medicare
- Plan any further investigations or ongoing care if needed
Why this health check is important
Health risks in your 40s often develop gradually and without obvious symptoms.
A structured health assessment helps to:
- identify early risk factors before symptoms develop
- reduce long-term risk of chronic disease
- support healthier lifestyle choices
- guide preventative screening and monitoring
- create a clear plan for future health goals
Look, feel and be fit & healthy at 50.
