Understand your stroke risk with a comprehensive assessment led by Australian-registered doctors. Two appointments: First appointment covers medical history, test ordering, and investigations. Second appointment provides detailed result explanations. Targeted investigations: Blood tests (cholesterol, diabetes risk, kidney/thyroid function), ECG, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, carotid ultrasound, MRI & MRA brain. Personalised risk profile: Evidence-based recommendations for lifestyle changes, treatments, or referrals. Convenient telehealth: No referral needed. After-hours and weekend availability.
Stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is suddenly interrupted. This can happen in two main ways:
Both types can lead to serious health consequences, and some people may have no symptoms until a stroke occurs. Identifying risk factors early can help guide decisions to support brain and heart health.
Many stroke risk factors, like high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, or blood vessel narrowing, can develop silently over time. This service is designed to assess key contributors to stroke risk and help you understand your health profile in more detail.
You’ll speak with an Australian-registered doctor (telehealth available) who will:
We arrange a panel of blood tests that focus on stroke-related and general health factors. These may include checks related to:
These results help assess how various systems in your body may be contributing to stroke or heart risk.
An ECG records the electrical activity of your heart. It can help detect irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation, which may increase the risk of stroke due to blood clots forming in the heart and travelling to the brain.
A single blood pressure reading in clinic may not reflect your usual levels. A 24-hour monitor checks your blood pressure throughout the day and night, offering a more accurate picture. Long-term high blood pressure is one of the most significant risk factors for stroke.
This test uses sound waves to examine the main arteries in your neck. These arteries supply blood to your brain. If there is narrowing or buildup of plaque, the risk of stroke may be higher. This scan is safe, non-invasive, and provides useful information about your vascular health.
MRI creates detailed images of the brain to check for signs of previous small strokes or other structural changes that may have occurred without symptoms. MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography) focuses on the brain’s blood vessels, helping detect narrowing, abnormal loops, or unruptured aneurysms. These findings can inform stroke prevention strategies.
Once your results are available, you’ll have a follow-up consultation to:
This is a privately billed service. Medicare rebates do not apply. All investigations are ordered based on clinical judgement and may vary between individuals. This is not a diagnostic service for acute stroke symptoms or emergencies.
Book a $60 Stroke Risk Screening ConsultationDecode medical terms: Clarify complex language in biopsy, cytology, or histopathology reports. Understand cancer subtypes: Detailed explanations of diagnoses, including specific cancer types and implications. 20-minute consultation: Telehealth session with AHPRA-registered doctors trained in surgical pathology. Service includes: Explaination of medical jargon, clarification of diagnoses, and preparation for discussions with your treating team. Who it’s for: Patients with unclear biopsy results, cancer diagnoses requiring clarification, or those seeking more information about their pathology reports.
If you've received a pathology report—such as a biopsy, cytology, or histopathology report—it can be full of medical language that’s hard to understand. Even your regular doctor may not be trained in pathology and might not explain everything in detail.
This service is designed to help you understand your report more clearly, so you can feel more confident and informed about your health.
We can help you:
This service is suitable for people who:
You’ll speak to an Australian AHPRA-registered medical doctor with training and experience in surgical pathology. Our role is to explain the report in simple terms, not to give treatment advice. This way, you’ll be better prepared when talking with your specialist or GP.
