Our Services
Asquith Medical Centre is proud to offer a range of services to help you throughout all stages of life.
Over 75 Comprehension Health Assessments and Care plans
We now have the option of having your over 75 Annual Health Assessment in the surgery by our Registered Nurse. After the assessment you return to the GP for the assessment results and for any referrals.
For patients who are unable to attend the surgery, MyCare nurses can visit patients in their homes, and then patients return to their GP for assessment.
Aged Care Referrals
If you are considering starting the process of accessing funding for yourself, your partner, or your parents under the Aged Care Funding Package, then we can help you with the referral process. If you would like assistance doing this please call the surgery to organise an appointment with a doctor or our practice nurse.
Preventative Health Screenings (45-49 year olds)
Did you know that if you are between the ages of 45-49 you are eligible for a health assessment? The benefit of this health assessment is to address any modifiable lifestyle factors and prevent the development of serious illness when you are older. It is never too late to make changes and we are here to support you. If you would like to attend for assessment then please speak to your doctor or our reception staff who can organise an appointment.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Regular visits to your doctor are an important part of keeping your blood pressure under control.
Childhood Immunisations
All child immunisations as part of the NSW Immunisation Schedule are bulk-billed. When you bring your child in for their vaccination, it is recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register. Children are usually weighed and the child’s progress is checked. Please remember to bring your child’s blue book when you come in for immunisations.
Catch-up Immunisations for New Australian Migrants
If you’ve recently migrated to Australia, we’re able to help you catch up with your required Australian Immunisations. These will be recorded to the Australian Immunisation Registry in real time to ensure there are no hold-ups with any Visa, Permanent Residency or Citizenship requirements.
