Paediatrics

At Hamilton Medical Group, our GPs provide caring, family-focused healthcare for children of all ages, from newborns through to adolescents. We understand that visiting a doctor can be an anxious experience for young patients, and our team works to make every visit as comfortable and reassuring as possible for children and their families.

Our GPs support families with routine childhood health checks, developmental assessments and immunisations in line with the National Immunisation Program schedule. We also provide care for common childhood illnesses and injuries, as well as ongoing management of conditions such as asthma, eczema and allergies.

We recognise the importance of continuity of care, and our doctors work to build lasting relationships with families, developing an understanding of each child's individual health history and needs over time. Where a child's condition requires specialist input, our GPs can arrange referrals to paediatric specialists and help coordinate care with Western District Health Service.

Our paediatric services also include monitoring growth and development, feeding and nutrition advice, and support for behavioural or learning concerns. Where appropriate, our GPs can arrange referrals to allied health professionals, such as dietitians and mental health services.

We understand that parenting comes with many questions, and our GPs are happy to discuss any concerns about your child's health and development, no matter how big or small. Telehealth consultations are also available, providing a convenient option for families, particularly for follow up appointments or when travelling to the practice is difficult.

Hamilton Medical Group is committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of local families through every stage of childhood. Please contact our reception team to arrange an appointment for your child.
