About Her Health Check
Her Health Check is a free online tool that tells you which health checks you might need based on information you provide. We have developed the tool with health professionals for women in Australia.
Keep in mind this tool is a general guide. You may need more checks if you have a health condition or you’re at risk of one.
If you are worried about your health, talk to your doctor or health care team.
Why are health checks important?
Regular health checks can help identify health problems early, when you have a better chance of treating and managing them. They can also help you monitor existing health issues.
You will need different health checks throughout your life, depending on your age, risk factors, medical background and family history. Even if you feel healthy, it’s important to have regular health checks.
What happens once I've finished the Her Health Check questions?
Once you’ve completed the short questionnaire, we’ll tell you which health checks you may need now and any others you may need to keep in mind for the near future. Then, if you’d like to keep a copy of your health check recommendations, we can email it to you in a print-friendly report.
It’s a good idea to share the report with your doctor. You can discuss which health checks are right for you and book them in.
What do I need to bring to a health check?
It depends on what type of health check you are having. You might need to bring the following if you have them:
- Medicare card
- Healthcare or pension card
- Private health insurance information
- Hearing aid
- Glasses
- A list of any medicines you are taking
It’s a good idea to phone the clinic before your health check to find out exactly what you’ll need to prepare. If necessary, you can ask what to wear to your appointment and tell them if you need an interpreter or any other support. Also ask if you will be charged any fees.
