Early Interventions for Healthy Ageing
Early Interventions for Healthy Ageing (EIHA)
Your wellbeing, our shared goal.
This program provides personalised, culturally safe care designed to help you age well. From comprehensive health checks to coordinated support and allied health services, the EIHA program helps you stay healthy and connected to the care you need in North Western Melbourne.
Personalised Care for Ageing Australians
Our program is designed for individuals at risk of chronic health conditions, specifically:
- Adults aged 50 to 74 years old.
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 35+.
- Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) individuals.
- LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Why Prioritise Early Intervention?
As we age, managing long-term health conditions becomes a priority. Nearly nine in ten older Australians manage at least one ongoing health issue.
Joining the EIHA program helps you:
- Catch potential health concerns before they become serious.
- Stay active and independent for longer.
- Proactive care reduces the likelihood of unplanned hospital admissions.
- Access a team-based approach to your health.

Supported by funding from the North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network, most of our services are bulk-billed (please note GP appointments are privately billed). Our services include:
- Assessments focused on What Matters, Medication, Mentation and Mobility.
- Custom health roadmaps with regular reviews.
- Direct paths to physiotherapy, dietetics, pharmacy, and mental health support.
- Monthly follow-ups and multidisciplinary case conferences.
- Support for self-management and social connection.
