About This Service

Invest in Your Health Before You Need To

Preventive healthcare identifies risk factors, detects conditions early and empowers you to make informed lifestyle choices — before a problem becomes a crisis. At Peninsula MDC Mornington, we believe a proactive approach to health is the smartest investment you can make.

Medicare funds specific health assessments for eligible patients, including the 45–49 Year Health Assessment for those at risk of chronic disease and the 75+ Year Health Assessment for older Australians. Our GPs conduct thorough reviews covering physical, mental and lifestyle health.

Preventive health at Peninsula MDC Mornington is more than a tick-box exercise — it is a structured, evidence-based partnership between you and your GP to reduce your lifetime risk of chronic disease. Our GPs use validated risk calculators alongside clinical examination and pathology to create a personalised risk profile and actionable prevention plan. These are not one-off appointments — we build preventive health into ongoing GP care, ensuring your risk factors are tracked over time and your wellness goals remain front of mind.
