If your child’s condition is complex or chronic, doctors consulting at Diamond Valley Clinic have a network of paediatricians and allied health professionals to whom they can readily refer patients.
We support your doctors to provide a comprehensive immunisation service to children of all ages. Your doctor can discuss vaccines and offer a safe and happy environment for your child’s medical care. If possible, bring in your baby’s My Health and Development Record (“The Green Book) to keep your doctor updated on growth patterns and to record your child’s immunisations.
Acute fevers, infections or asthma
Fever is a common symptom of infection in children. If your child has a high fever or is very unwell, let reception know and they will do their best to facilitate a same-day appointment withyour doctor.
Adolescents
Children in their mid to late teens may wish to consult a GP independently. It is important to discuss this with them and advise them they can get their own Medicare card
