These services are tailored to meet the needs of individuals at different stages of life, ensuring that all our patients have access to the necessary tools and information to maintain their health and prevent disease.
Our approach to preventative health is grounded in a deep understanding of the unique health risks and challenges faced by our community.

Whether it’s managing weight, quitting smoking, or preventing heart disease, our team is here to support our patients every step of the way. We are committed to creating a welcoming and comfortable environment where patients feel valued and respected.
Types of Preventative Health Services
The types of preventative health services offered at Eaton & Australind Medical Centre are diverse and designed to address the comprehensive health needs of our community. Our services include vaccinations and immunisations, which are critical in preventing infectious diseases across all age groups. We provide seasonal influenza vaccinations, COVID-19 boosters, childhood immunisations, and travel vaccinations, ensuring our patients are protected against a wide range of preventable diseases. Additionally, we offer screening programs for early detection of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer. These screenings are essential for identifying risk factors and conditions in their early stages when they are most treatable.
Healthy lifestyle promotion is another cornerstone of our preventative health services. We offer advice and support for weight management, nutrition, physical activity, and smoking cessation. Our practitioners are trained to provide motivational counselling and practical strategies to help patients adopt healthier lifestyles, reducing their risk of chronic diseases. Furthermore, mental health support is an integral part of our preventative care, recognising the profound impact of mental and emotional well-being on physical health. We provide resources and referrals for mental health services, including stress management and counselling, to support our patients’ holistic health.
Preventative health care at Eaton & Australind Medical Centre also includes specialised services for specific populations, such as women’s health screenings (including breast and cervical screenings) and men’s health assessments (focusing on prostate health and cardiovascular risk). For older adults, we offer assessments for bone health and fall prevention, addressing the unique health concerns of ageing populations.
