Questions

Probably not, and that's the point. There is no secret test. The advice at the end of any honest preventive review is the advice every good doctor gives: eat well, move, sleep, stay connected, don't smoke. What this review adds is a proper look at which checks apply to you, the time to do them, and a written plan, so what applies to you gets done, and what doesn't is left out.

Yes, some of it. Any device is fine. What's useful: your average daily steps or active minutes, your resting heart rate trend over a few months, your average sleep duration, and any heart-rhythm alerts your device has given. Bring the app and we'll look at it in the room; nothing needs to be synced or uploaded. Sleep stages, HRV, stress, readiness and recovery scores aren't clinical measures and don't change anything in the review, so you can leave those at home.

It's the version a GP would do. Those programs sell a large set of tests and scans on a membership; this is a single doctor's review that orders the checks with a reason behind them, under Medicare where you're eligible, and follows up everything it finds. If you still want a test we don't offer after we've talked it through, we'll explain what it can and can't tell you and you can decide.

Yes. Most people are up to date on some of this and not others; the review works out which, without repeating what's been done. The review doesn't replace your GP. You receive copies of your results and the plan, and they are uploaded to My Health Record unless you ask otherwise, so any doctor you see can use them. Every future check on the timeline can be done wherever you choose. If your GP referred you, they receive the results and the plan.

Because a proper history, the measurements, the risk scores and a real conversation about what to do next don't fit in a standard consultation. An AI scribe handles the note-taking so the time is spent with you, not the screen.

Software that listens to the consultation and drafts the clinical note, which the doctor reviews and corrects before it goes in your record. You'll be asked for consent at the start and you can say no.

Yes. OSHC and OVHC policies rebate GP visits and standard tests at Medicare rates. You'll need your policy card at the appointment.

No fund can cover a GP consultation; that's the law for any service with a Medicare rebate. Extras policies usually do cover the allied health and dental visits your plan may recommend, and some include a health-check benefit you can claim against optional tests.

Each person needs their own appointment: the schedule differs by age and risk, and the room time is per person.

The review itself is in person because of the measurements. Follow-up visits, including the results appointment, can be in person or by phone; once you've been seen in person, standard-length phone consultations attract a Medicare rebate.
