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.
