21.01.2022 Having a health check provides important health information for you and your doctor. The 715 Health Check is designed to support the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients of all ages. This is a free health assessment and is bulk billed. The assessment does take 30 to 40 minutes as it is very detailed. If you havent received one in the last 12 months please give us a call on (02) 9249 9144 and just advise the receptionist... that it is for a ATSI Health Check, so we can allocate the time for your appointment. Staying on top of your health is important. It helps to identify potential illnesses or chronic diseases before they occur. It is much easier to look at ways to prevent these things from occurring, rather than treatment. ATSI Health Assessments are from newborns right up to 100+.

If someone says theyre not OK, make time to listen, encourage action and check in. That conversation could change, or even save, their life.
