Our Services

Asquith Medical Centre is proud to offer a range of services to help you throughout all stages of life.

 

+ Over 75 Years of age Health Assessments and Care Plans

We now have the option of having your over 75 Annual Health Assessment in the surgery by our Registered Nurse. After the assessment you return to the GP for the assessment results and for any referrals.

For patients who are unable to attend the surgery, MyCare nurses will visit, in their homes, and then patients return to their GP for assessment.

+ Aged Care Referrals

If you are considering starting the process of accessing funding for yourself, your partner or your parents under the Aged Care Funding Package then we can help you with the referral process. If you would like assistance doing this please call the surgery to organise an appointment with a doctor or our practice nurse.

+ Preventative Health Screenings for 45-49 year olds

Did you know that if you are between the ages of 45-49 you are eligible for a health assessment? The benefit of this health assessment is to address any modifiable lifestyle factors and prevent the development of serious illness when you are older. It is never too late to make changes and we are here to support you. If you would like to attend for assessment the please spek to your doctor or reception staff who can organise the appointment.

+ Catch Up Immunisations For New Australian Migrants
