If you are a parent or caregiver seeking a Medicare rebate for the consultation, we kindly ask that you bring your child to the appointment. We understand that some parents might feel a bit uneasy discussing their child’s behaviour while the child is present. In such cases, we recommend having another adult accompany you. This way, one parent can talk with the paediatrician about their concerns while the child is supervised in the waiting room.
However, we want you to know that if you prefer, you can still see the paediatrician without bringing your child along. Just keep in mind that in this scenario, you won’t be eligible for the Medicare rebate.
It’s important to note that the paediatrician won’t be able to provide a formal diagnosis until they’ve met the child and conducted a clinical assessment in person.
We want your child’s visit to be as comfortable and productive as possible. To make sure everyone can focus and have a meaningful conversation, we kindly suggest limiting the number of family members in the consultation room.
While we appreciate your support, having too many people present can sometimes create distractions and make it a bit chaotic. This way, we can give your child the best attention and address your concerns effectively. Thank you for understanding.
If your child has been referred for investigations, you will usually require an appointment to discuss results unless the paediatrician specifically told you that they will call you with the results.
The process for obtaining a repeat prescription depends on the type of medication. In many cases, a review appointment with your paediatrician may be necessary before they can provide a repeat prescription. For such repeat prescriptions, please ensure that you contact us well in advance to schedule an appointment. It’s advisable to do this preferably right after your consultation to secure an appropriate time slot.
If your paediatrician has indicated that a repeat prescription can be provided without a review, please make sure to contact us at least two weeks before you need the prescription. Please note that some of our doctors are only onsite every two weeks, so contacting us in advance is crucial to ensure timely processing.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia offers early intervention services for children younger than six with developmental delay or younger than nine with disability.
Early intervention services aim to provide support and assistance to children at an early stage to help them develop essential skills and abilities.
If a child is eligible for the NDIS and meets the criteria for early intervention, they can receive funding for services that support their developmental needs.
