You can get the 715 health assessment with your usual doctor or clinic. They’ll:
- ask you about your health
- do a physical check up
- organise tests
- write a health plan.
If you’re at risk or have an ongoing illness you can access Medicare follow up services.
Ask your doctor, nurse or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health worker about your 715 health assessment.
You can have a 715 health check every 9 to 12 months. Try to use the same doctor or clinic so they can get to know your health needs. If you change doctors, tell them about your old doctor’s care.
