Child health checks from birth to starting school
The years from birth to school are a time of rapid growth and development. Regular child health checks help make sure your child is growing well, reaching milestones and ready for school. At our child health clinic in Carindale, these checks line up with the times your child is due for immunisations, so one visit covers both.
Your GP checks weight, height and head size, and asks about feeding, sleep, movement, speech, play and behaviour. Around three to four years, a more detailed health check looks at hearing, vision, teeth, development and readiness for school. If anything needs a closer look, we’ll arrange the right referral early.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ child health clinic inside Westfield Carindale provides growth and development checks from birth to school, alongside immunisations. A detailed pre-school health check is available around three to four years. Children 16 and under are bulk billed, and immunisations on the schedule are free.
- Newborn and six-week checks
- Growth tracking at every visit
- Development milestones reviewed
- Pre-school health check at three to four years
- Hearing, vision and speech concerns assessed
- Referrals to specialists and allied health
A child health GP who knows your family
Many Carindale families see us for every child, which means your GP builds a picture of your whole family’s health. Small changes are noticed sooner, and you don’t need to explain your history at every visit.

Development concerns parents often raise
These are common reasons parents ask us for a closer look:
- Speech: not saying words or putting them together as expected.
- Movement: late crawling, walking or clumsiness.
- Behaviour: tantrums, sleep problems or difficulty settling.
- Growth: weight or height crossing percentiles.
Many children catch up on their own, but early help makes a big difference when it’s needed.
