Our Services

Comprehensive Health Assessments

We conduct thorough annual health assessments designed to keep you as healthy and independent as possible. Our nurses and doctors collaborate to evaluate your overall health, identify potential issues early, and develop personalised care plans.

Assessment and Review for My Aged Care

Our GP and Nursing team can work with you to discuss ageing in place, where you stay in your home as long as possible, being as healthy as possible. This can be supported by a MyAgedCare Referral.

Advanced Care Planning

Planning early in your life for how you want the end of your life to be is crucial. Being guided through this journey makes an important job far less daunting. Our doctors can assist with paperwork and can discuss options and requirements about making your wishes known.

Osteoporosis Screening

We offer regular osteoporosis screening using a combination of on-site checks and monitoring by local bone density providers. Early detection and management are key to maintaining bone health and preventing fractures.

Chronic Disease Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements

We ensure you receive maximum benefits from the many Medicare Allied Health Services available. Our team coordinates your care among specialists, hospitals, and other healthcare providers, creating a seamless and comprehensive care experience.

Dementia Screening and Care

Regular dementia screenings help us determine if you could benefit from new medications designed to slow the progression of dementia. Early intervention is vital in managing this condition effectively.

Veterans’ Affairs Services

We proudly serve a large number of veterans, offering a range of services, including:

- Webster packs for medication management.

- Government-supplied blood pressure machines and elastic stockings.

- Reduced costs for incontinence pads.

- Assistance with completing D904 forms.

Vaccination Programs

Our annual influenza and pneumococcal vaccine programs are designed to protect you from common and potentially severe illnesses, helping you stay healthy year-round.

Medication Management

We offer home medication reviews in collaboration with your local pharmacist to ensure your medications are effective and safe. We can also arrange for dose dispensing aids, known as Webster packs, to help manage your medication regimen.

Support for Carers

Caring for a loved one as they age can be challenging. We provide resources, support, and education for carers to help them navigate their caregiving journey effectively.

Independent Living, Hostel, and Nursing Home Care

If you need to transition from your home to a facility more suited to your current health care needs, we are here to provide continuity of care. We work closely with independent living, hostel, and nursing home facilities to ensure you receive the best possible care.
