Everyday GP care for kids, from coughs to check-ups

Coughs, colds, ear infections, tummy bugs, rashes and minor injuries are all part of childhood, and having a GP for kids who knows your family makes these moments easier. At Carindale Doctors, our GPs see babies, toddlers, school-age children and teenagers for everyday illnesses as well as check-ups and immunisations.
We hold same-day appointments each morning for unwell children, and our doctors are experienced at making visits relaxed for young patients. We’ll explain what’s going on, what to watch for at home and when to come back, so you leave feeling confident.
In short: Carindale Doctors is a GP for kids inside Westfield Carindale, seeing babies to teenagers for everyday illnesses, minor injuries, check-ups and immunisations. Same-day slots are held each morning, and children 16 and under are bulk billed.
