Preventative Health

Have you considered the importance of preventative medicine and annual health checkups for maintaining optimal health and wellbeing? At Healthcare on Collins we strongly emphasise the significance of preventative medicine. General Practitioners offer comprehensive health checkups to detect and prevent common medical conditions and diseases such as high blood pressure, heart and vascular disease, diabetes, and cancers.

We recommend annual checkups for individuals aged 40 years and over to ensure early detection and prevention of potential health issues. Many doctors consulting at Healthcare on Collins have a special interest in the field of preventative medicine.

We conduct Medicare subsidised 40–49 and 45–49 years old health checks where appropriate. Additionally, we recommend health assessments for younger age groups in certain situations, such as a strong family history of cancer, heart disease, or diabetes.

During a thorough preventative health check, your doctor conducts histories and examinations tailored to your individual needs. For women, this may include breast checks and cervical screening, while men may undergo rectal prostate examinations. Your skin and internal organ systems are also covered during this process, which may also include a fasting blood test to check cholesterol and blood glucose levels. In some cases, a bowel cancer screening test or other tests such as an exercise stress test or X-rays may be recommended.

Following your health assessment, you will be provided with a management plan tailored to your individual needs, including necessary review appointments.

If you would like to arrange an appointment for a preventative health check, please contact our amazing reception staff on (03) 9650 4284 or book here.

Please allow 30 minutes for your appointment. At Healthcare on Collins we are committed to providing you with the highest quality of care and ensuring that you are on the path to optimal health and well-being.
