What is child health?

Child health focuses on monitoring your child's physical, emotional and developmental wellbeing from birth through adolescence. At our clinic, this includes routine growth assessments, developmental screening, and guidance on nutrition, sleep and behaviour to support healthy milestones. Evidence suggests that regular early childhood check-ups may help identify concerns early so families can access timely support.

Who we help in Truganina

We support babies and toddlers through their early years, school-aged children needing developmental assessments, and adolescents navigating mental health or chronic conditions. Our services also assist NDIS participants requiring coordination and families seeking paediatric care under WorkSafe or TAC arrangements.
