All Australians over the age of 75 are eligible for a free annual check up. This health assessment will identify any  issues, as well as assist people in their daily life. Education is also a big part of this, and our nurses can provide advice on fall prevention and other things that will help to improve your health and lifestyle. This check is bulk billed to Medicare.
