It’s important to have a health check every year, even when you feel well, to stay healthy and strong.

Having a regular health check provides important details to your doctor to keep you and your family in good health.

All Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are eligible for an annual 715 health check which are free at Aboriginal Medical Services and bulk billing practices. The 715 health check can help you better understand your health and help you access follow up services to improve your health and wellbeing.
