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.
