Health Assessments:

Health assessments are a Medicare initiative aimed at allowing people who may be at risk of illness or who are in a particular age bracket, to have a comprehensive health assessment completed. Health assessments are performed by the practice nurse and your GP. Health assessments are bulk billed so there is no out-of-pocket cost to you. A list of health assessments are below.
