Children’s health topics.
Open a topic to learn how our GPs can help.
Most childhood fevers and colds are caused by viruses. See your GP if your child is unusually drowsy, not feeding or drinking, has trouble breathing, or you are worried. For babies under three months with a fever, seek medical advice straight away.
Ear pain, tugging at the ear and fever are common signs. Your GP can examine your child’s ears, and also remove objects that have become stuck in the ear.
Diagnosis, an asthma action plan, spacer technique and regular reviews, so your child can stay active.
Assessment of food and skin allergies, eczema care plans, and referral to specialist services where needed.
Checks on weight, height, speech, movement and learning, with referral to allied health or paediatricians if needed.
Support with sleep routines, behaviour and attention concerns, including ADHD assessment and ongoing care through our special interest consultations.
Confidential care for young people, including mental health support, sexual health, and acne and skin concerns. Kids Helpline is available any time on 1800 55 1800.

Good to know.
More detail on common questions. Open a topic to read more.
Fever is common and usually caused by a virus. See a GP if your child is unusually drowsy, not drinking, has trouble breathing, a rash that does not fade when pressed, or if you are worried. Babies under three months with a fever need medical advice straight away.
Ear infections often follow a cold. Your GP can check the eardrum, discuss pain relief and whether antibiotics are needed, and follow up if fluid behind the eardrum affects hearing.
A written asthma action plan helps families and schools know what to do day to day and in a flare. Your GP can review spacer technique and update the plan at least yearly.
Eczema care usually includes regular moisturising, avoiding triggers and treating flares early. Your GP can tailor a plan and refer if eczema is severe or not responding.
Children develop at different rates. If you have concerns about speech, movement, social skills or learning, your GP can assess and refer to allied health or a paediatrician.
From around 14, young people can have part or all of a consult on their own. From 15 they can have their own Medicare card. Your GP will explain how confidentiality works and when safety might need to be discussed with others.
