Your bearings

A clear course for the year ahead.

PREPARE YOUR BASELINE

Begin before you arrive

Your concierge explains the process and helps you complete your medical history. A Bearing doctor reviews it and requests relevant pathology. Once your results have been received, your assessment is arranged.

UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU STAND

Testing and medical judgement

Your 90-minute appointment includes 45 minutes of targeted, nurse-led testing, 15 minutes to compile your results and brief the doctor, and an extended 30-minute consultation with your GP.

STAY ON COURSE

Follow your roadmap

You leave with a personalised Proactive Health Roadmap for the next 12 months. Your concierge helps arrange the practical next steps, and a six-month GP review assesses your progress.

The approach

Most healthcare starts with a problem.
Bearing starts with a plan.

Your usual GP remains central to your healthcare—particularly when you are unwell or need ongoing treatment. Bearing complements that care by creating dedicated time to look ahead, establish a considered baseline and decide what deserves attention over the coming year.

When care is problem-led
01 Something changes or begins to feel wrong
02 You make an appointment about that concern
03 Investigations or referrals are arranged
04 A diagnosis may be reached
05 Treatment or ongoing care begins
With Bearing
01 Your medical history is reviewed while you are generally well
02 Pathology and testing are selected for your circumstances
03 A GP brings the findings together and explains them
04 Your Proactive Health Roadmap sets out the year ahead
05 Your concierge supports the next steps, with a six-month GP review
By design

Personal by design.

Bearing is intentionally structured around time, continuity and personal coordination. Your concierge guides you through each practical step. A qualified nurse conducts the testing protocol. A GP considers the findings in the context of your medical history, explains what they mean and develops your Proactive Health Roadmap with you.

It is a white-glove approach to proactive medicine: fewer hand-offs, clear responsibility and active follow-through throughout the year.

Bearing is led by Medical Director Dr Bimsara Gurusinghe and draws on the experience of the team behind Family Clinics, an established private primary healthcare group. Family Clinics is Bearing's affiliated GP network for patients who need ongoing care.

How it compares

A clinical service. Not another health platform.

Bearing combines the clinical judgement of general practice with the time, coordination and follow-through needed to plan ahead.

Traditional GP care Bearing Platform-based service
Primary role Everyday and ongoing medical care Dedicated proactive assessment and planning Digital access to testing, programs and providers
Home base Your GP practice One clinic, one clinical team and one concierge An app connecting providers, results and data
Doctor relationship Appointments as needed Face-to-face assessment and an included six-month GP review Telehealth within a distributed care team
Testing Ordered as clinically required Targeted pathology and nurse-led testing Completed across partner facilities
What you leave with Advice, treatment or referrals A 12-month Proactive Health Roadmap Digital results and a personalised protocol
Follow-through Ongoing appointments as required Concierge coordination and GP continuity App-based tracking and multidisciplinary support

With Bearing, technology supports the care. It isn't the care.

Targeted by design

Every test should have a reason.

More testing does not always mean better medicine. Before your assessment, a Bearing doctor reviews your medical history and selects pathology relevant to your age, circumstances and risk factors. During your visit, a qualified nurse conducts a targeted clinical testing protocol.

We do not test simply because we can. Each result should help your doctor understand your health, guide a decision or shape what happens next.

Your GP then brings the findings together, explains what matters and uses them to develop your Proactive Health Roadmap.

Not more data. A clearer way forward.

Questions

What people ask before beginning.

Who is Bearing for?
Bearing is designed primarily for adults aged 30 to 60 who are generally well but want to take a more proactive approach to their health. It is particularly useful for busy people who tend not to engage with primary healthcare until something feels wrong. If you have complex or ongoing medical conditions, Bearing can complement—but does not replace—the care provided by your regular GP or specialist.
How is Bearing different from traditional GP care?
Traditional general practice provides essential everyday, illness-based and ongoing care. Bearing creates dedicated time to look ahead. Your medical history, targeted pathology and nurse-led testing are brought together in an extended face-to-face consultation with a GP. The result is a Proactive Health Roadmap for the year ahead, supported by concierge coordination and a six-month GP review.
What happens before my assessment?
Your concierge explains each step and helps you complete an online medical-history survey. A Bearing doctor reviews your history and requests relevant pathology. Once the results have been received, your 90-minute assessment is arranged.
What happens during the 90-minute assessment?
A qualified nurse conducts approximately 45 minutes of targeted testing, followed by 15 minutes to compile your report and brief the doctor. You then spend 30 minutes face-to-face with the GP, understanding your results, discussing what deserves attention and developing your Proactive Health Roadmap.
What do I receive afterwards?
You receive a personalised 12-month Proactive Health Roadmap as a PDF. Your concierge helps arrange the agreed next steps and supports you in following the plan. An included six-month GP review assesses your progress and keeps the roadmap on course.
Does Bearing replace my usual GP?
No. Bearing is a proactive addition to your existing healthcare. Your results and roadmap can be shared with your usual GP. If you require ongoing care and do not have a regular doctor, Bearing can connect you with a GP at an affiliated Family Clinics practice.
What happens if the assessment finds something?
Your Bearing GP explains the finding and provides any necessary referrals or investigation requests. Your concierge can help arrange the next steps. Ongoing care can then be provided by your usual GP, an appropriate specialist or a GP at an affiliated Family Clinics practice. Urgent findings are managed according to normal general-practice standards.
What is included in the Bearing fee?
The fee includes your doctor-selected pathology, initial Bearing assessment, Proactive Health Roadmap, concierge coordination and six-month GP review. Further imaging, specialist consultations and other external care are paid for separately. Bearing is a private service and does not attract Medicare or private-health-insurance rebates.
When does Bearing open?
Bearing opens in Toorak in January 2027. Register your interest and our team will contact you when appointments become available.
