Monash Uni-SCS paid staff only - Book in now for your FREE WorkHealth Check!


Free Work Health Checks are now available for **Monash University staff at Victorian campuses and sites. (**Note: Monash Uni-SCS paid staff only, PhD students are not eligible).  Places are extremely limited, so book now to avoid disappointment.  

If you completed a free health check last year, we ask that you refrain from booking an appointment this year to allow others to attend.

Your 20 minute health check will include:
·  A check of your total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose, and waist circumference,  all measured by a health professional.
·  An assessment of your type 2 diabetes risk, cardiovascular disease risk, and modifiable risk factors (smoking and exercise)
·  Individual results card, results consultation and recommendation.

Your results are confidential and Monash University will not receive any personal information about your health.

Important things to know before your appointment:
·  No fasting is required prior to your appointment
·  Screening involves a finger prick and collection of two droplets of blood
·  Inform the practitioner if you feel lightheaded at any stage or have any history of fainting
How to book?

Click the link here to book your spot.  Select your preferred date and time from the list available.  You will receive an email confirming your appointment, together with a reminder a few days prior to the appointment. Please note that if for any reason you need to cancel your booking, you MUST cancel it at least 24 hours prior, so that it can be allocated to another staff member.   If you have not already done so, you are also invited to complete the free Online Health Assessment Tool at the Health and Wellbeing Page
If you have any questions or concerns about your health seek advice from your General Practitioner.
