Adult Health Assessments
As we age, consistent maintenance is essential, especially as many individuals in the 45-49 age group lead busier lives than ever. This stage of life often brings new health challenges, such as increased susceptibility to chronic illness and heart disease. While these issues are common, they are treatable with early intervention and proactive measures.
Our 45-49 Health Assessments provide a comprehensive physical evaluation, offering insight into your current health and potential risks. This includes:
- A thorough medical history review, including your family medical history, to identify existing health problems or hereditary risks.
- An examination of current and past medications to assess their impact on your health.
- A review of your lifestyle, including diet, exercise habits, smoking, drinking, and hobbies, which play a significant role in your overall well-being.
- General physical tests, such as measuring height, weight, and more.
Based on this information, our team will develop a tailored plan to support your health goals. In follow-up appointments, our physicians will provide further guidance and advice on how to meet those goals.
If you’re approaching 45 or already in your late 40s, book your appointment today!

What is a Heart Health Check?

of having a heart attack or stroke and supports early prevention and ongoing heart
health management with your GP.

agebased eligibility criteria, including:
Adults aged 45–79 years - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 30–79 years

Review of your medical and family history - Measurement of blood pressure
- Review of cholesterol and diabetes status, including blood tests if required
