Children’s Health

Our kids are the most important things in our lives, which is why many of the doctors at Kilcoy Medical Centre have a particular interest in children’s health.

We can help with the majority of your children’s health concerns. We offer immunisations both as part of the government schedule and optional extra vaccinations; we monitor children’s health and development; treat accidents such as cuts that need stitching, minor bangs to the head, and plastering fractures. We can talk to you about your personal concerns and stresses, as well as make referrals to other service providers and support agencies.

All children under 16 years of age are bulk billed at our practice!
