To encourage early detection and diagnosis of common and treatable diseases, the purpose of this health check is to ensure all Indigenous people receive the optimum level of healthcare. Indigenous communities experience a disproportionate burden of illness and face higher mortality rates compared to the broader Australian population. Routine health examinations could significantly diminish or avert severe health issues through their early identification and timely treatment.

To reduce the incidence of common and treatable diseases that cause significant illness and premature death, these health assessments serve to guarantee that all Indigenous individuals access the highest standard of healthcare available. They prompt the early identification and diagnosis of prevalent and manageable diseases, thereby curbing the prevalence of these conditions leading to significant health issues and untimely demise.
