Heart Health Checks

Do you know what your risk of having a heart attack or stroke is? Having a regular Heart Health Check with your GP will help you better understand your risk of a heart attack or stroke.

1.4 million Australians have a high chance of having a heart attack or stroke in the next five years. Many are unaware of this risk.

Anyone 45 years and over or 30 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should have a regular Heart Health Check with their doctor. A Heart Health Check is a 20-minute check-up with your GP to assess your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.  Since April 2019, Heart Health Checks have been covered by Medicare and are free at practices that bulk bill this service.
