Health Checks in Coogee — Preventive Care You Can Count On
Staying on top of your health doesn't mean waiting until something goes wrong. Regular health checks with your GP are one of the most effective ways to detect health problems early, manage risk factors, and keep you feeling your best.
What Is a General Health Check?
A health check is a structured appointment with your GP to review your overall health, identify any concerns, and update your preventive care. Depending on your age, sex, and personal history, your health check may include:
- Blood pressure and heart rate measurement
- Blood tests for cholesterol, blood sugar, and kidney and liver function
- Weight, BMI, and waist circumference
- Review of current medications and vaccinations
- Cancer screening discussions (bowel, breast, cervical, skin, prostate)
- Mental health and lifestyle assessment
- Referral for further tests or specialist care where needed
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) recommends that adults have a comprehensive health assessment at least every two years, and more frequently if you have existing health conditions or risk factors such as a family history of heart disease, diabetes, or cancer.
