Heart Health

Heart Health Check

Every 12 minutes an Australian dies from heart, stroke or blood vessel disease. Most heart attacks and strokes are preventable.

If you are 45 years or older (30 years or older for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples) and have not had a heart attack or stroke, then you are eligible for a Heart Health Check under Medicare. A Heart Health Check is a regular checkup performed by your doctor designed to help

you understand your risk factors for heart disease and estimate how likely you are to have a heart attack or stroke in the next five years. Heart Health Checks are BULK BILLED to current Medicare Card holders. A discussion about your history and lifestyle Your lifestyle is an important part of assessing your risk of heart disease, as these factors can all play a part. You may be asked about:

  • Your diet
  • Physical activity levels
  • If you smoke or drink alcohol
  • Whether you are maintaining a healthy weight
  • Your medical and family history.
