Care for children and families

Practical support for your child’s health and wellbeing.

Our general practitioners care for children’s physical and mental wellbeing, with the aim of identifying concerns early, providing appropriate treatment and helping families confidently manage their child’s health.

We assess acute illness, provide preventive healthcare and support children living with ongoing or chronic conditions. If specialised or urgent care is required, your GP can arrange an appropriate referral.

Common childhood concerns

When your child becomes unwell.

Children can pick up infections in schools and childcare settings despite sensible hygiene and preventive measures.

Colds, flu and respiratory illness

Our GPs assess colds, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), sinusitis, sore throats and other respiratory symptoms. The appointment may include an examination, diagnosis, treatment advice and safety-net guidance about when to seek further care.

Common infections

Appointments are available for gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, ear infections, hand, foot and mouth disease, strep throat and other common childhood illnesses.

Ongoing or chronic concerns

Your family GP can support longer-term health concerns through regular reviews, treatment and coordinated referrals. Book an appointment when symptoms persist, recur or affect your child’s normal activities.

Prevention

Immunisation and preventive healthcare.

Preventive appointments help monitor your child’s health and protect against serious vaccine-preventable illnesses.

Childhood immunisation

The clinic follows recommended immunisation schedules so children receive vaccines at the appropriate ages. Bring your child’s vaccination history if requested.

Healthy Kids Checks

Health checks provide an opportunity to discuss growth, development, behaviour, nutrition, sleep and other age-appropriate health concerns with your GP.

Preventive advice

Your GP can offer practical, age-appropriate advice and help families understand symptoms, treatment plans and when additional assessment may be required.

Allergies and testing

Assessment supported by convenient pathology services.

Our GPs can assess possible allergies, review symptoms and arrange appropriate testing, treatment or specialist referral.

4Cyte Pathology is located within the medical centre, giving families convenient access to specimen collection and referred blood, urine and breath tests.

Preparing for the appointment

Bring relevant medical information, medication details and your child’s vaccination history. For allergy concerns, note possible triggers and the timing of symptoms.
