Why should you get a Heart Health Check?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia. Many heart attacks and strokes can be prevented through
healthy behaviours like:
Eating a heart-healthy diet, being active, maintaining a healthy weight and being smoke free.
Many people may not know their risk of developing heart disease, especially since you often can’t feel risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Having a Heart Health Check is an important first step to protecting your heart.
Who needs a Heart Health Check?
• All people aged 45–79 years
• People with diabetes from 35 years
• First Nations people from 30 years
Speak to your GP about a Heart Health Check if you do not already have heart disease.
How much does a Heart Health Check cost?
Heart Health Checks are covered by Medicare and bulk bill with our practice if you have a Medicare card.
Terms and conditions apply.
