Child Development & Vaccinations

Bulk billed for children under 16

All consultations for patients aged under 16 are bulk billed — no out-of-pocket cost for eligible Medicare cardholders.

From your baby's first visit through to teenage health, our GPs provide continuity of care at every developmental stage. If you have concerns about your child's development, we'll discuss these carefully and arrange referrals when needed.

All NIP vaccines are provided free of charge under the National Immunisation Program, regardless of consultation fees.
