Culturally safe care run by and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, plus primary care and hospital services with Aboriginal Health Workers and Aboriginal Liaison Officers. If you are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and have a Medicare card, you can get a free 715 health check every year at an Aboriginal Medical Service or bulk-billing clinic. Ask your GP or Aboriginal Health Practitioner about Closing the Gap PBS co-payment support too (check eligibility): after a one-off registration, people who usually pay full price for PBS medicines pay the concession price, and people who usually pay the concession price pay nothing. Our health check tool shows other free checks and vaccines.
