Preventative Health Care

At Stonewall Medical Centre, preventive care is a core part of our commitment to keeping our patients healthy, independent, and living life to the fullest.

Our GPs and nurses work closely with you to detect health issues early, reduce risk factors, and promote lifelong wellbeing through tailored prevention strategies.

Preventive health care at Stonewall Medical Centre includes:

• Vaccinations across the lifespan, including childhood, travel, and adult boosters
• Advice on cancer screening programs (e.g., cervical, bowel, breast, prostate)
• Risk reduction strategies for common cancers and chronic diseases
• Lifestyle advice to support healthy eating and physical activity at every age and ability
• Support for managing and preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis

We believe preventive care is not one-size-fits-all.

Our team offers practical, personalised advice to suit your health goals, cultural background, lifestyle, and stage of life.

Annual Health Assessments

Stonewall Medical Centre offers annual health assessments to eligible patients to help identify early health risks and prevent future illness.

• All patients aged over 30 are encouraged to have an annual health assessment with our practice nurse, followed by a review with their usual GP.
• Patients aged 40–49 are eligible for a government-supported health check, particularly to assess risk factors for chronic disease.
• Patients aged 75 and over are recommended to have an annual health assessment to support ageing well and staying independent.
• Patients living with an intellectual disability are encouraged to have an annual health check tailored to their specific needs.
• Patients who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander are eligible for annual health assessments from an earlier age to support culturally appropriate preventive care.

Health assessments are an important opportunity to build a long-term health plan with your GP, including preventive screenings, vaccinations, and lifestyle support.

Appointments for preventive health services can be booked online or by contacting our friendly reception team.
