ATSI Health Assessments
Supporting Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Health Through Preventative Care: Better health starts with early support, preventative care, and accessible healthcare for everyone.
At EMC, we are committed to providing accessible, patient-focused healthcare that supports the long-term wellbeing of our community. As part of this commitment, we are currently undertaking a Quality Improvement Program focused on improving healthcare support and preventative care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.
One important part of this initiative is encouraging eligible patients to access an ATSI Health Assessment — a comprehensive health check designed to support overall health, identify potential concerns early, and help patients stay proactive about their wellbeing.
What is an ATSI Health Assessment?
An ATSI Health Assessment is a comprehensive check-up available to eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients. These assessments are designed to provide a broader overview of a patient’s health and wellbeing while supporting early intervention and ongoing care.
The assessment may include:
- General health checks
- Review of medical history
- Mental health and wellbeing discussions
- Lifestyle and preventative health support
- Identification of potential health risks
- Care planning and referrals where appropriate
Preventative healthcare plays an important role in supporting better long-term health outcomes, and regular assessments can help ensure patients receive the right support at the right time.
Who is Eligible for an ATSI health assessment?
Any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person of any age with a current Medicare card may be eligible for a free / bulk billed ATSI Health Assessment.
If you are unsure about your eligibility or would like to learn more about the process, our team is happy to assist.
