Big News from GMC! ❤️
Today, the Glengowrie Medical Complex had the honour of hosting The Hon Mark Butler, Minister for Health and Aged Care, Ms Louise Miller-Frost MP, Federal Member for Boothby, and Mr David Lloyd, CEO of the Heart Foundation, for a special announcement:
👉 Another 3 years of funding for Healthy Heart Checks!
This is a big win for preventative health and for our local community — giving more Australians access to potentially life-saving heart health assessments with their GP.
As David Lloyd shared during his visit:
"The Healthy Heart Check is likely to be one of the most important things you can do to prevent future heart disease — it all starts with a conversation with your GP."
We couldn’t agree more. Preventing heart disease starts with awareness, early detection, and simple steps guided by your GP — and it all begins with that first chat.
A Heart Health Check is recommended for:
✔️ Everyone aged 45 and over
✔️ Everyone aged 30 and over if you’re Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
We also welcomed other distinguished guests and community health leaders who share our commitment to better heart health for all Australians.
📍Visit us at GMC and book your Healthy Heart Check today — your heart will thank you. 💙
