715 Health Check – Moorjit Case Study
715 Health Checks in schools are getting kids on board with their health.
If it wasn’t for the 715 health check, Kerry Drake’s children would still be missing school due to chronic illness.
The mother of two from Kwinana says the school health check program run by local Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre, Moorditj Koort detected underlying health conditions for both her children, that hadn’t been picked up before. The Moorditj Koort schools’ program is delivered in primary and secondary school campuses in the region to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students complete a 715 health check. The annual health check is a comprehensive health assessment, providing preventative and diagnostic screening of patients from physical to social and emotional well being, and is offered to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in a number of schools.
The 715 Health Check is free at Aboriginal Medical Services and bulk billing clinics, and is available annually to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of all ages. Further information, including resources for patients and health practitioners is available at www.health.gov.au/715-health-check.
