Southern Grampians Shire Council is pleased to offer the community access to free, quick, and easy health checks with the arrival of the SiSU Shane Warne Legacy Health Station.
From Tuesday 5 May to Friday 5 June 2026, the Health Station will be located at Hamilton Indoor Leisure and Aquatic Centre (HILAC), providing community members with an opportunity to better understand their health in just five minutes.
No bookings are required, and results are provided instantly.
The initiative encourages community members to “know their numbers” and take a proactive approach to their health and wellbeing.
Regular health checks play an important role in the early detection of risk factors associated with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, many of which can develop without obvious symptoms.
Cardiovascular disease remains Australia’s leading cause of death, while conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes often go undetected.
Southern Grampians Shire Council Mayor Dennis Heslin said by increasing awareness and encouraging early action, the Health Station supports individuals to make informed decisions about their health
The self-service station provides a comprehensive, medical-grade health check, including blood pressure and heart rate, weight and body mass index (BMI), body composition, and a type 2 diabetes risk assessment using the AUSDRISK tool.
Results can be viewed immediately on screen and accessed later via the SiSU Health mobile app.
“This free service is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to improving community health and wellbeing, making it easier for residents to access preventative health information in a convenient and supportive environment,” Cr Heslin concluded.
Council are proud to partner with SiSU Health, Latrobe Health Services, Diabetes Australia, and the Shane Warne Legacy organisation to bring this service to the community.
