Children's Health

Childhood Immunisations:

​

These vaccinations provide protection from many diseases, including chickenpox, hepatitis B, measles, whooping cough and so on.  The Australian National Immunisation Program has vaccines at 6 weeks, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 4 years.

​

• While immunisation doesn't always stop your child being infected, if your child does become infected with these diseases, their illness will be much less severe

• All childhood vaccines are available free of charge for medicare patients.  

• Influenza, Tetanus, Pneumococcal, Hepatitis A & B and Whooping Cough (Pertussis) vaccines can be arranged.  

• Ongoing school program vaccinations are also available.  

• Travel vaccination advice and requirements are available but may not be covered by Medicare rebates.

Newborn Assessment:

• Your newborn needs to have a full body examination at 2 and 8 weeks.

• These checks help determine the health of your child following birth. 

Developmental Check:

• We all know that children develop and achieve their milestones at their own pace.

• If you are worried, we can assess their developmental milestones using standardised tests.
