Health Assessments

General check-ups and Health Assessments are available to all patients at Glebe Hill Family Practice.

Specific medicare item numbers are available enabling Glebe Hill Family Practice to bulk-bill Health Assessments for the following categories:

  • a once-off 45-49 Year Old Health Check for people aged 45-49 years who are at risk of developing chronic disease
  • a type 2 diabetes risk evaluation for people aged 40-49 years with a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes as determined by the Australian Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Tool
  • an annual health assessment for people aged 75 years and older
  • an annual comprehensive medical assessment for permanent residents of residential aged care facilities
  • an annual health assessment for people with an intellectual disability
  • a health assessment for refugees and other humanitarian entrants
  • an annual ATSI Health Check for people of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin

Outside of the above categories, health assessments will be privately-billed.

We require a long appointment (30-60 minutes) for a full check up.

Please discuss with one of our Reception staff or your General Practitioner about arranging a Health Assessment appointment.

Health assessments are generally made up of the following elements:

  • information collection, including taking a patient history and undertaking or arranging examinations and investigations as required
  • making an overall assessment of the patient
  • recommending appropriate interventions and referrals
  • providing advice and information to the patient
  • keeping a record of the health assessment, and offering the patient a written report about the health assessment, with recommendations about matters covered by the health assessment
  • offering the patient’s carer (if any, and if the medical practitioner considers it appropriate and the patient agrees) a copy of the report or extracts of the report relevant to the carer

We also provide private Medical Assessments including pre-employment medicals, driver medicals, insurance medicals, and general check-check ups. Click here to find out more.
