Know which checks are due
Your practitioner notes the routine checks that may suit your age and family history. With your consent, your GP sees them too.
Healthy Ageing consultations
In your forties and fifties, new questions come up about sleep, energy and which health checks are due. Betterwell is a telehealth clinic for healthy ageing: a live consultation first, then a check-in every month.
- Live consultation
- A check-in every month
- Private and secure
Healthy ageing starts with a clear picture of your health.
Often it starts with something small. Your sleep feels lighter than it did a few years ago. Or a screening letter arrives and you wonder what else is due. With work and family filling the week, questions like these are easy to put off.
In a Healthy Ageing consultation, an Australian practitioner reads your history first. Then you talk it through live, by video. If a care plan is deemed medically appropriate, you check in every month and choose the next step. With your consent, your GP stays in the loop.
Time to talk it through
A calm, private conversation by video, from home or work. Your practitioner has read your answers before you meet.
A check-in every month
You meet live each month and decide what happens next. A written summary follows every check-in.

What does healthy ageing mean?
The World Health Organization describes healthy ageing as "the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age". In everyday terms, it means keeping up the things you value as the years pass. Sleep, activity and routine health checks all play a part.
What happens in a Healthy Ageing consultation?
A Healthy Ageing consultation is a live telehealth appointment with an Australian practitioner, by video. It's a calm, private conversation about your sleep, energy, activity and family history. Your practitioner also notes any routine checks that may be due. A plan is discussed only if deemed medically appropriate.
Do I speak with a practitioner, or only fill in a form?
You always speak with a practitioner. The questions at the start take a few minutes, and your practitioner reads every answer before you meet. Then you talk live by video. Nothing about your care is decided from the questions alone.
How much does a Healthy Ageing consultation cost?
The initial consultation is $79. If a care plan is deemed medically appropriate, the monthly care plan is $59 per month. Each month includes a live check-in, your progress tracked in one place and a written summary. You see both fees before you book.
Do I have to commit to monthly care?
No. Answering the first questions doesn't oblige you to book. If you start a monthly care plan, it runs month to month. At each check-in you choose to continue, adjust or conclude your care. A written summary records what you decided.
How does a Healthy Ageing consultation work with my GP?
Betterwell works alongside your GP, who stays part of your care. Keep seeing your GP for routine care and screening. With your consent, your practitioner shares a summary of each consultation. Your GP then knows which checks you discussed and what you decided.
Do I need recent blood tests before I book?
You can book without recent blood tests. If you have results from the past year, keep them close for your consultation. Your practitioner will tell you if a pathology request is clinically indicated, and why, before you agree to anything.
How is my health information kept private?
Betterwell collects only the information that is clinically relevant to your care. It is stored securely and handled under the Privacy Act 1988 and our Privacy Policy. Your details reach your GP only with your consent. You can ask what we hold at any time.
