A long, connected, capable life doesn't happen by accident
Modern life quietly pulls the structure out from under it. Gather Preventive is a way back: proper testing, a real plan, and people to do it alongside.

Built on real medicine, not shortcuts
Gather Preventive is a structured, 12-month program built on the same evidence-based medicine as good general practice, with the time and the testing a proper preventive assessment actually needs. It is not a peptide clinic, testosterone shortcut, or five-figure longevity membership. It is real testing, a real plan, and someone qualified reading the results.
Every visit works on two levels. First, we test properly: your heart and metabolic risk (including markers most check-ups skip, like ApoB and Lp(a)), your muscle and bone, your mental health and stress, your hormones, and whether your cancer screening is up to date for your age. Second, we turn what we find into an actual plan across five things that matter: movement, nutrition, sleep, mind, and connection. Not generic advice. Your plan, built from your numbers.
Gather Preventive works alongside your GP, not instead of them. Anything that needs ongoing medical management, existing conditions, prescriptions, referrals, stays exactly where it belongs: with your regular GP.

Getting Started
Book online or by phone. We will send a short intake and consent form to complete beforehand, and a Gather Coordinator checks in to make sure everything is ready before your visit.
Your Initial Consult (60 minutes with Ben)
We listen to what has brought you in, walk through your intake together, and take a first set of measurements. You leave with referrals for blood tests and a body composition (DEXA) scan.
Testing
Blood tests and your DEXA scan, usually within two to four weeks.
Your review consult
About four weeks later: a full walkthrough of your results and your personal Gather Protocol. Anything that needs ongoing management goes back to your GP. Referrals for your six-month retesting are organised here too.
Along the way
Optional add-ons are available if you would like them: a dietitian, a psychologist, or a personal training session, billed separately. Bulk-billed telehealth check-ins with Ben help keep things on track between your major reviews.
Your 6-month medical review
Updated measurements, repeat testing, and a refreshed protocol. This is the last dedicated review of your first year.
Then, at 12 months
Your next Initial Consult begins the following year's cycle, rather than adding a separate fourth visit. That keeps the ongoing annual cost lower than the first year.
Thorough
People who want a longer, more thorough look at their long-term health than time normally allows.
Proactive
People in their 30s to 70s who want to be proactive about their long-term health, not just reactive to problems.
Specific
People who want a plan built specifically for them, not lifted from a podcast.

The space
Gather Hub
Gather is based at a renovated weatherboard house on Highett Street in Mansfield, alongside the allied health practitioners you would usually have to drive between: physiotherapy and other services under the same roof, with more on the way. It is where Gather Preventive consults happen, and it is built to feel like somewhere you would actually want to spend an hour, not a waiting room.

We are trying to give you the time, the testing, and the plan to actually act on what you find.
