Comprehensive Health Care
Our priority is to establish and maintain wellness. We ideally try to allow time to both address your reason for attending and address preventative health priorities.
Illness Prevention
We are motivated to help prevent illness. We actively screen to try to reduce the onset of diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, breast and bowel cancer, glaucoma, osteoporosis, skin cancer, liver disease etc. We recommend booking for a Health Check today.
Chronic disease care and Care Plans
We specialise in care planning to support people living with chronic diseases (e.g. Diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, kidney disease etc). Under a care plan Medicare provides financial assistance to attend an allied health worker (dietician, physiotherapist, podiatrist) for people with chronic illness.
