Preventive Care

Supporting Health Through Evidence-Based Prevention

Looking after your health isn't just about treating illness - it's about preventing it. We believe preventive healthcare is one of the most important investments you can make in your long-term wellbeing.

At Terrey Hills Family Surgery, we provide preventive healthcare in line with the RACGP Guidelines for preventive activities in general practice (the Red Book) and other nationally endorsed clinical guidelines. Our approach is based on your individual risk assessment and appropriate screening, rather than a one-size-fits-all model of care.

Preventive care aims to identify health risks early, support timely intervention, and promote long-term health and wellbeing through ongoing general practice care.

Preventive Care May include

  • Assessment of your individual and family medical history to identify health risks
  • Cardiovascular risk assessment, including blood pressure and cholesterol (lipid) evaluation
  • Screening and monitoring for diabetes and related metabolic conditions
  • Participation in the National Bowel, Breast and Cervical Screening Programs
  • Skin assessment and advice regarding sun-related risk
  • Preventive care for men's and women's health across different life stages
  • Health assessments for older adults, including Medicare-funded 75+ health assessments and 45–49 chronic disease risk assessment
  • Review of your immunisation status in accordance with the National Immunisation Program
  • Lifestyle risk assessment, including physical activity, nutrition, smoking, alcohol intake and weight management
  • Preventive care planning if you have chronic conditions or increased health risks

Individualised Preventive Care

Preventive activities are selected based on clinical guidelines and your individual circumstances, including your age, sex, medical history and risk profile. Your GP will discuss recommendations with you, so you can make informed decisions and stay engaged in your own healthcare.

Our GPs work in partnership with you to ensure your preventive care is relevant, appropriate and aligned with current evidence-based practice.

Book an appointment with one of our GPs to discuss your preventive healthcare needs and appropriate screening or risk assessment - call us on (02) 9450 1083 or book online.
