Health Assessments
Your health deserves attention — and a health assessment is a smart way to stay on top of it. Whether you want to manage a condition, meet job requirements, or simply check in on your fitness, it gives you a clear picture of where you stand.
At GoldCare Medical Centre, we offer health assessments tailored to your needs. Whether it’s for general check-ups, work, or aged care, we’re here to support your health every step of the way.
Health Assessments Explained
A health assessment is a full check-up that looks at how you’re doing physically and mentally. It’s not just about taking your blood pressure and weight — it’s about understanding your overall health, spotting any issues early, and planning ahead.
These assessments can be done for general health, work-related purposes, disability support, visa applications, or aged care.
Types of Health Assessments We Offer
General Health Checks: Stay on top of your health with checks on your lifestyle, vitals, and personalised advice.
Pre-Employment Medicals: Find out if you’re fit for the job with role-specific checks like physical exams or fitness tests.
Occupational Health Assessments: Already working? We make sure your job isn’t putting your health at risk—ideal for physically or chemically demanding roles.
Aged Care Assessments: We help you access My Aged Care services and arrange ACAT or RAS assessments for in-home or residential care.
Disability Support Assessments: We handle assessments like ESAT or JCA to support your access to disability services.
Mental Health Checks: Whether it’s part of a full check-up or separate, we offer simple ways to support your emotional wellbeing.
Annual Checks for People with Intellectual Disability: Fully covered by Medicare, these check-ups help identify health issues early and involve family or carers.
Visa Medical Assessments: Need a check-up for your visa application? We can help with the required tests and documents.

Posted on Hung TăngTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Vasu provided excellent care and conducted a thorough assessment, addressing all of my concerns and potential issues. The booking process was seamless, with bulk billing available. The receptionist was also extremely friendly and helpful both during appointment confirmation and upon arrival at the clinic. I had a very positive experience at the clinic.Posted on Benjamin HewittTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently decided to change my GP due to ongoing dissatisfaction with my provider. It took some time for me to make the break, as I had been with him for several years. I received a recommendation to try Dr Vasuthan Sellathurai at Goldcare Medical Centre. Dr Vasu made me feel very at ease. He conducts essential physical checks at each visit, he is hands on, thorough and very professional. He makes me feel confident that I can regain my health to a higher standard than I would have with under my previous GP, who made me feel like I was being fobbed off. I'm so happy that I made the break by recommendation to Dr Vasu. I would encourage anyone to make the move to him at Goldcare Medical if you are unhappy with your current medical care.Posted on jonathan RousseauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Vasuthan for nearly 3 months, and he is simply the best. He always investigates thoroughly and genuinely cares about his patients. We never feel like just another number; he truly takes the time to listen and provide the best care. The receptionists are also very kind and helpful.
