From newborn checks to adolescent health, our GPs provide comprehensive paediatric care. Immunisations, developmental checks, school medicals, and adolescent mental health all in one place.

Welcoming a baby is wonderful — and overwhelming. We offer the structured paediatric checks that build confidence in those early weeks and months.
Comprehensive examination of your baby (growth, hips, eyes, heart, hearing, milestones) plus a postnatal review for you — including mood screening and pelvic floor.
Breastfeeding troubleshooting, formula advice, reflux assessment and tongue-tie review. Lactation referral when needed.
Evidence-based advice on sleep cycles, settling, safe sleep, and when to be concerned. Maternal & Child Health Nurse referrals.
Postnatal depression and anxiety affect 1 in 5 mothers. We screen openly and refer to specialised perinatal psychology.
Children grow in waves, not lines. Our paediatric-trained GPs assess physical, social, cognitive, language and motor milestones at each stage and flag any concerns early — when the right support makes the biggest difference.

Childhood asthma, eczema and allergies are extremely common and can be life-disrupting — but with the right plan they're highly manageable.
Written, individualised plans for school and home. Inhaler technique, spacers, peak flow, and what to do during an attack.
Step-up moisturiser regimens, topical steroid plans (when, where, how much), and trigger identification.
Skin prick or specific IgE referrals, anaphylaxis action plans, EpiPen training, school documentation.

Babies under 3 months with any fever (≥38°C) need same-day medical assessment — call us or, if we're closed, attend Casey Hospital. Older babies and children with fever for <48 hours, drinking, alert and active are usually OK to monitor at home; come in if symptoms persist or worsen.
Each child needs their own appointment slot for safety and proper time — please book separately, especially if more than one child needs to be examined.
