My Symptom Check-In is a quick and easy way to let your GP practice know how you’re feeling and what support you may need.

It helps your care team notice changes early, so they can focus on what matters most to you and plan care that supports your comfort, wellbeing, and quality of life.

How it works for you

  • Free and easy to take part
    You can complete it at home or during your appointment. You can stop anytime.
  • Helps your GP understand how you’re feeling
    Your answers guide conversations about symptoms, concerns, and what’s important to you.
  • Supports the care you already get
    Most people’s needs can be well managed by their GP and practice team. GenPal helps make care more personalised.
  • Specialist care only if needed
    If extra support would help, your GP can arrange this at the right time.
  • No extra cost to you
    Funded through Medicare, so there’s no charge.
  • Your information is secure
    Your responses are safely stored in your medical record and only shared with your care team.

My Symptom Check-In helps make your appointments more focused and meaningful — so you get the right care, at the right time, and closer to home.
