Essential Health Checks
Regular health checks can detect common problems early and get effective treatment. We run through the common health checks that you may need to keep you as healthy as possible.
Eye test
Eye tests not only help keep your vision as sharp as it can be, they can also detect 20 health conditions that you might not be aware of. Even better, some optometrists bulk bill through Medicare, leaving you with no out-of-pocket costs.
Dental check-up
An annual dental check-up is much more pleasant than reputation would suggest. You get a highly qualified dentist to clean and polish your teeth, apply fluoride to protect them from decay and check that your dental care is up to scratch.
And if you need a filling or two, benefits are available for those on all levels of Peoplecare extras under General dental.
Health checks for men
Ever feel like you’ve missed something? You’re not alone and that’s why Healthdirect has this guide for essential screening tests for men. Give it a read and tick a few off this year.
Health checks for women
This guide is also from Healthdirect to cover all your essential screening services to keep on top of. It is well worth a quick review to see if you’re all up-to-date.
Online mental health support
The Federal Government’s Head to Health is useful as hub for more than 500 digital resources for everything from carer support, helping a child through their mental health and general mental health tips that could benefit everyone.
Peoplecare health screening
If your doctor (or other medial professional) requests a health check that’s not covered by Medicare, Peoplecare may provide benefits under ‘Health screening’ which is available on all Peoplecare extras covers.
