Do you offer bulk billing?

Yes—most standard GP telehealth appointments are bulk billed for eligible Medicare card holders. Eligibility varies by service and appointment time.

When does mixed billing apply?

A gap applies to long appointments (≥30 minutes), last-minute priority/urgent care bookings, and services not covered by Medicare. Sundays are not bulk billed.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Cards only (credit or debit) via Tyro. We do not accept cash or bank transfer.

Why biological age beats birthday candles

Chronological age tells you how long you’ve been alive; biological age shows how fast your body is wearing out. A growing body of research links a younger biological age to a lower risk of heart disease, cancer and early disability. By measuring the right biomarkers now—and re-checking them every 6–12 months—you can catch quiet declines, fine-tune lifestyle changes and watch real-time proof of improvement.

What goes into the Zelica Longevity Score?

We combine five research-validated pillars into one easy-to-understand number:

Pillar	Key measure(s)	Why it matters
Biological Age	PhenoAge blood test (included) ± optional DNA-methylation “GrimAge”	Every 5-year rise in PhenoAge predicts a 48 % jump in all-cause mortality.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness	VO₂ max (gold standard) or 6-minute walk test via smartphone	Each extra metabolic equivalent (1 MET ≈ 3.5 ml kg⁻¹ min⁻¹) cuts death risk ~13 %.
Physical Function	Short Physical Performance Battery, gait speed, grip strength	Slow gait (<0.8 m/s) triples risk of future disability.
Frailty & Reserve	Rockwood Frailty Index	Every 0.10 rise in the index doubles hospitalisation rates.
Well-being & Lifestyle	PROMIS Global Health (English) or WHOQOL-BREF (multilingual)	Poor self-rated health is as predictive of mortality as hypertension or smoking.

Bottom line: You receive a single Zelica Longevity Score (ZLS).+0.30 or more = clinically meaningful improvement; –0.30 = actionable decline.

Five reasons patients love the scale

Medicare-friendly – All baseline bloods are bulk-billed; most clients pay only for an optional DNA test or VO₂ max at partner labs (discounted through us).
Telehealth convenience – Functional tests are completed at home with your smartphone and a loan-out dynamometer; no waiting-room time.
Actionable reporting – A colour-coded dashboard shows exactly which pillar drives your score, plus a bell-curve so you can see how you rank against peers.
Track progress, not promises – Repeat screens at 6 and 12 months quantify the effect of exercise, nutrition or medication tweaks.
Whole-person subscription care – Our Preventive Health Plan bundles two standard GP video consults, one express refill visit and unlimited lifestyle-coach messaging for less than the cost of a single private specialist review.

Longterm care partnership between you and our professional friendly and caring doctors — Look forward to our longterm care partnership with you and your loved ones
