June 15th – 21st is Men’s Health Week. 

August 20, 2015

Men’s Health Week will stimulate a new level of interest in the area of Men’s Health & Wellbeing & encourage the development of more male friendly services.

The initiative also hopes that it will encourage increasing numbers of men and boys to value their health and well being as an important first step in developing more effective ways of taking care of themselves so that they can lead longer, happier lives.

Many men typically do not access medical, allied health or welfare services in a timely way when their health & well being is at risk. In Australian more men are likely to get sick from serious health problems than women, often due to lack of early intervention.

Health Services need to review their way of operating & act accordingly. Ballarto Medical Centre does this by:

• Offering extended Opening Hours. We understand how difficult it can be to find time for health and well being in a busy schedule.
• Availability of Men’s Health Resources both in the clinic & here on our website.
• Participation in initiatives such as Men’s Health Week & Movember.
• Promotional Tips and ideas produced by our health care team in our waiting areas. Take a look next time you are in!
• Improving and encouraging preventative health measures.

We encourage all men and boys to make an appointment for a confidential discussion about their health and lifestyle with one of our caring GP’s.

Together with Men’s Health Week Ballarto Medical Centre believes that by making small adjustment’s to your daily routine, you can find ways to build health giving practices into your everyday life. During Men’s Health Week make it a moment that makes a difference!
