Brain Health Check

A free assessment tool that looks at our everyday lifestyle habits that support brain health, mental well-being and day-to-day performance - with practical, tailored suggestions based on published research.

Your everyday habits play a bigger role in brain health, mental well-being and performance than most people realise. This free assessment tool looks at the lifestyle factors that research links to long-term brain health, then gives an overall score with tailored age-appropriate practical suggestions.

First, we’ll ask who the check is for, so we can ask the right questions and tailor the suggestions. No login is required and no personal health information is saved.

Please read first. This is a general educational tool about lifestyle habits. It is not a medical or psychological assessment, it does not screen for, detect or diagnose any condition, and it is not a substitute for advice from your doctor, GP or another healthcare professional. Using it does not create a practitioner-patient relationship with Perth Brain Centre. If you have any concerns about your (or your child’s) health or well-being please speak with your GP or healthcare professional.

What is Brain Health?

The World Health Organisation describes brain health as “an emerging and growing concept that encompasses neural development, plasticity, functioning, and recovery across the life course. Good brain health is a state in which every individual can realise their own abilities and optimise their cognitive, emotional, psychological and behavioural functioning to cope with life situations. Brain health conditions emerge throughout the life course and are characterised by disruptions in normal brain growth and/or brain functioning. Health and social care for these conditions require multisectoral and interdisciplinary collaborations with a holistic person-centred approach focused on promotion, prevention, treatment, care and rehabilitation over the lifespan and the active engagement of persons experiencing the conditions and their families and carers, as appropriate.”

Why is Brain Health important?
