Newtown Doctors

We'll Help You Stay Healthy All Year Round
Feeling healthy and fit and wondering whether it’s worth visiting our Newtown doctors? Regular health checkups and visits to our medical clinic help you to stay on top of your health. We offer a broad range of preventative treatments, advice and testing. Visiting the clinic for regular checkups also means illnesses and diseases can be diagnosed and treated within a timely manner.  

​ If you’re unsure as to whether you really need to visit Newtown Medical Centre, here are a few great reasons to reconsider your decision:
  • Understanding Your Body

    ​​Our bodies are constantly changing and, as we age, it’s a good idea to stay on top of our health by knowing our baseline health markers. Regular checks of weight, blood pressure and blood testing helps to track health and makes it easier to pick up on any irregularities.
 
  • Understand your health risks

    If there is a history of heart disease, high cholesterol, cancer or even diabetes in your family, we offer preventative treatments and advice to help keep you healthy. Our regular preventative testing will also pick up changes in your health, allowing for an early diagnosis to be made. If you’re at higher risk to disease, it’s important to make changes to your lifestyle and health in order to remain healthy for as long as possible. Our doctors are here to offer preventative information and advice about diseases that may run in your family.
​
  • Total wellbeing

    Changes to our physical health are usually very noticeable. When we’re injured, we can see the wound, or when we physically feel ill, but often our mental health can go unnoticed. At Newtown Medical Centre we perform mental health risk assessments which take into account gender, age and family history. Our doctors work in conjunction with highly trained Psychiatrists and Psychologists to ensure our patients receive the most comprehensive support for any mental health issues.
So how often should you be visiting your Newtown doctor? Aside from seeing your doctor when you’re unwell, a regular check up every 6 to 12 months will help you stay on top of your health. If you are planning an overseas trip, our doctors can provide travel health advice and vaccinations if required. We also offer flu immunisations in the lead up to winter. The flu vaccine is recommended as part of routine vaccinations for older Australians, pregnant women and those over 6 months in age who are identified as having medical conditions predisposing them to sever influenza.
