Childhood Immunisations and Vaccinations

Goldcare Medical Centre, GP Dandenong

Immunisation is one of the best ways to protect your child from serious illnesses. We follow the National Immunisation Program Schedule, providing vaccinations free of charge as recommended for Australian children.

Your child’s first vaccine often happens around six weeks of age, coinciding with important health checks. We also support immunisations for medically at-risk children and Indigenous Australian families. If you have any questions about vaccines, our team is happy to provide clear, reliable information.

Managing Common Childhood Illnesses

Coughs, colds, ear infections and tummy bugs are all part of childhood. While worrying, they often mean your child’s immune system is working well. Our GPs will assess your child, provide treatment if needed, and guide you on how to care for them at home.

We also offer care for more persistent conditions such as asthma, eczema, and allergies. We work with you to identify triggers and create management plans to keep your child comfortable and healthy.

Supporting Growth and Development

Every child develops at their own pace. We help parents understand what’s normal and when to seek extra support. Our GPs carry out regular development checks, screening for any delays or issues with speech, hearing, vision, or behaviour.

If needed, we provide referrals to specialists such as paediatricians, speech therapists, or psychologists. Early support can make a big difference in your child’s life.

FAQs

How often should I bring my child for a health check?

Regular check-ups are important, especially in the first few years. Typically, your GP will recommend visits at key milestones like 6 weeks, 4 months, 12 months, and yearly after that, or whenever you have concerns.

Are childhood vaccinations really necessary?

Yes. Vaccinations protect children from serious illnesses that can cause long-term harm or even be life-threatening. Following the National Immunisation Program keeps your child and community safe.

What should I do if my child has a chronic condition like asthma or eczema?

Your GP can help manage these conditions with tailored treatment plans, advice on avoiding triggers, and regular monitoring to keep symptoms under control.
