We’ve developed a comprehensive six-step process that acts as your personal health roadmap, to follow towards your health goals.
Taking care of your heart isn’t something to delay — it’s one of the most powerful steps you can take toward a longer, healthier life. At Longevity Clinic, we’ve built our Heart Health Check around a simple but crucial idea: the sooner you know where your heart stands, the sooner you can do something about it.
Many people feel fine until a heart issue shows up without warning. That’s why our checks go beyond just ticking boxes — they’re a full picture of where you are now and how to protect your heart in the future. We tailor every check to the individual, with your lifestyle, age, and risks in mind. Whether you’re keeping tabs on family history or aiming to live well into your later years, we’ll help you make informed decisions through a clear, supportive process.
Here’s what our Heart Health Check brings you:
It’s not just about knowing your numbers — it’s about giving you the tools and support to live stronger, longer, and with peace of mind.
You don’t need to have symptoms to be at risk of a heart condition. In fact, many people live with silent warning signs that go unnoticed until a major event, like a heart attack, forces them to act. The truth is, heart disease remains one of the leading causes of health problems in Australia — but much of it can be managed, or even prevented, with timely checks and the right guidance.
Ignoring these factors doesn’t mean they’re not there. But knowing them puts you in control.
When we talk about prevention, we’re really talking about empowerment. Monitoring your heart gives you the chance to make changes before damage is done — and even small changes can lead to big shifts in long-term health. Whether it’s improving your daily routine or planning long-term care, understanding your heart is the first step.
When you come in for a Heart Health Check at Longevity Clinic, we don’t rush you through a checklist or rely only on numbers. What we offer is a full, practical look at how your heart is doing — and what can be done now to protect it in the future.
Here’s what your check may involve:
You’ll get a written summary that’s easy to understand — something you can look back on and build from. It’s a clear, useful plan that helps you make informed decisions.
This check isn’t about pointing out problems. It’s about understanding where you stand now and how to improve what’s within your control.
If you’re thinking about a Heart Health Check, it’s natural to ask: Am I eligible? And is it covered by Medicare? The answer for many people is yes — and the process is straightforward.
Here’s who qualifies for a Medicare-covered check:
If you fit that list, Medicare covers the full cost of your yearly Heart Health Check. That includes:
There’s no out-of-pocket cost if you’re eligible — it’s part of the national push to prevent serious heart conditions before they start.
What if you don’t meet the Medicare criteria?
You can still have the check. We offer private heart health assessments that follow the same process. These might be right for you if:
Not sure where you stand? You don’t have to guess. Just give us a call or book a quick pre-check chat, and we’ll help you figure out if you’re eligible — and what your options are if you’re not.
Whether it’s covered or not, what matters is getting the right information early. A check today can help you avoid bigger problems later — and give you peace of mind that your heart’s on the right track.
Choosing where to get your heart checked matters. At Longevity Clinic, we take a thoughtful approach to heart care that focuses not just on the moment, but on the years ahead. Our aim isn’t just to tell you what your numbers are — it’s to help you understand what they mean and how to act on them.
We see heart health as part of the bigger picture. That’s why every check at our clinic is carried out with your long-term wellbeing in mind. Whether you’re concerned about your risk or simply want to stay ahead of future problems, we make sure your check gives you something useful — not just information, but a clear path forward.
Here’s how we do things differently:
Heart health isn’t just about finding problems. It’s about helping you feel more in control and giving you the tools to live well — now and into the future.
Everyone walks through our door for different reasons. Some people want a simple check to confirm everything’s on track. Others are managing family history or past issues and want something more detailed. Some are already taking steps to live longer and just want their heart health to match that goal.
That’s why we’ve made our Heart Health services easy to understand, with three clear options. Each package is built to give you what you need — no more, no less — and they can all be adjusted if your situation changes.
1. Medicare Heart Health Check (for eligible patients)
This is a yearly heart check fully covered by Medicare for those who qualify. It’s a solid option if you haven’t had one in the last 12 months and meet the age guidelines.
You’ll receive:
This check is meant to catch risk factors early. If anything concerning shows up, we’ll guide you on what to do next. It takes about 30 minutes and is a good first step for most adults over 45.
2. Comprehensive Heart Diagnostic (Private Package)
This is a more detailed check. It’s built for people who want a closer look at their heart health — especially if there’s a family history of heart disease, or if blood pressure and symptoms like fatigue or chest tightness have become common.
Includes everything from the Medicare check, plus:
This option takes about 45–60 minutes. It’s a good fit for those wanting more time and deeper insight into their risks.
3. Longevity Heart & Lifestyle Program (Advanced Private Plan)
This one is built for people who want long-term direction — not just a one-time result. It’s about setting up a plan that connects your heart health with your overall wellbeing.
It includes:
This package suits those who want their heart health to line up with their wider health goals. It’s not about adding pressure — it’s about creating a plan that works for you, and one that you can stick with.
No matter which option feels right, we’re here to explain it, help you choose, and make sure you leave with something useful — something that gives you real value, and a better understanding of your health.
Getting your heart checked is one thing. Taking care of it in your daily life is something else. We make sure that after your appointment, you’re not left wondering what to do next. We give you direction that’s easy to follow and advice that fits with how life actually works.
There’s no one-size-fits-all plan, but there are areas that almost always matter when it comes to protecting your heart. These are the ones we focus on with each person — not with pressure, but with practical steps that make sense.
What you eat doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does need to support your body. We don’t hand out strict diets. We help you understand what can be changed, and how to do it in a way that sticks.
Things that often help:
If your cholesterol or blood sugar levels were flagged in your check, we’ll walk through what changes matter most for you.
You don’t need to join a gym to start moving more. The goal is to use your body regularly, in a way that keeps your heart active without adding stress.
Some things we often suggest:
The idea is to make movement something you don’t dread — and something that doesn’t feel like a chore.
Stress is part of life, but over time, it affects the body — especially the heart. High blood pressure, poor sleep, and burnout are just some of the ways it shows up.
Simple ways to ease the load include:
For some people, talking to a counsellor or support group also helps. We can guide you toward these services if needed.
We don’t expect you to change everything overnight. What helps is checking in — with yourself and with us — to see how things are going. Many people don’t realise how much small signs can tell us if they’re picked up early.
We encourage:
Heart health isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about making better choices more often, noticing what your body’s telling you, and knowing there’s support when you need it.
We stay involved after your visit — not to follow up for the sake of it, but because long-term health depends on more than one appointment. We’re here to help you carry what you’ve started and turn it into something lasting.
It’s a detailed look at your current heart health. It includes questions about your lifestyle, blood pressure checks, blood tests, and a heart age assessment. It helps catch issues before they turn into bigger problems.
If you’re 45 or older — or 30 or older and identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander — and haven’t had this check in the past 12 months, you’re likely eligible. It’s fully covered by Medicare if you meet the criteria.
It compares your heart’s condition to what’s expected for someone your age. If your heart age is higher than your actual age, it means your risk is higher — and changes may be needed.
Yes. Many heart-related issues don’t show obvious signs early on. This check can help find silent risk factors like high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, or blood sugar problems.
Most checks take about 30 to 45 minutes. If you’re having a more detailed assessment, it might take closer to an hour.
You’ll leave with some information right away — like your physical measurements and early risk signs. Blood test results take a few days, and we’ll talk you through the full picture once everything’s back.
We’ll explain it clearly and talk through next steps. That could include lifestyle changes, more tests, or a referral to a cardiologist or other specialist. You won’t be left without a plan.
Yes. We offer private packages with the same level of care, plus some options for extra testing and longer follow-up. We’ll walk you through what’s included before you decide.
Yes. Our Women’s Heart Clinic considers how heart symptoms and risk factors can appear differently in women. We offer care that takes this into account and look at things like hormones and family history in more detail.
Once a year is a good rule for most people, especially if you’re over 45 or managing risk factors. If your results show any concerns, we may recommend more frequent reviews.
