When it comes to your health, your general practitioner (GP) is your most important partner. At Pro Health Care, our team of doctors is here to support you at every stage of life—whether you’re managing a chronic condition, seeking preventive care, or simply need trusted advice.
More Than Just a Check-Up
GP care goes far beyond treating illness. Our team of doctors focuses on the whole person, helping you stay healthy, catch problems early, and make informed choices about your wellbeing. We can assist with:
- Preventive health screenings
- Immunisations and age-specific health checks
- Mental health care and support
- Women’s, men’s, and children’s health
- Lifestyle guidance—such as nutrition, exercise, quitting smoking, and managing stress
Why Preventive Screenings Matter
Preventive screenings are routine tests or assessments that help detect potential health issues before symptoms arise. These screenings allow your GP to identify risks early—often before they develop into more serious or long-term conditions. Common preventive screenings include:
- Blood pressure and cholesterol checks – Help monitor your heart health and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
- Diabetes screening – Identifies early signs of insulin resistance or diabetes, especially in people with risk factors like family history or excess weight.
- Cervical screening – Recommended for women aged 25–74 to detect early changes that could lead to cervical cancer.
- Breast checks and mammogram referrals – To detect any unusual lumps or changes.
- Prostate health checks – For men over 50 or those with a family history of prostate issues.
- Bowel cancer screening – Typically for adults aged 50 and over, using a simple at-home test kit.
- Skin checks – Especially important in Australia, where sun exposure increases skin cancer risk.
- Bone density testing – To monitor risk of osteoporosis, particularly in postmenopausal women and older adults.
These checks are tailored to your age, gender, family history, and lifestyle—and your GP will guide you through what’s recommended for you.
