At Asquith Doctors, experienced general practitioners (GPs) provide compassionate, family-focused children’s health care for infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers.

What Is Paediatric Care?

Paediatrics is the area of medicine dedicated to the health and development of infants, children, and adolescents. Regular GP visits play an important role in monitoring growth, identifying concerns early, and supporting parents with reliable medical guidance.

At Asquith Doctors, GPs in Asquith provide a broad range of children’s health services, including:

  • Newborn and postnatal checks
  • Growth and developmental assessments
  • Immunisations following the National Immunisation Program
  • Nutrition and healthy-weight advice
  • Management of common childhood illnesses such as ear infections, asthma, allergies, and eczema
  • Support for behavioural, learning and emotional wellbeing
  • Adolescent health and puberty guidance

By building ongoing relationships with families, the clinic ensures each child receives personalised care that adapts to their changing needs.

What to Expect During Your Child’s Appointment

Children’s health appointments at Asquith Doctors are designed to be calm, reassuring, and informative for both parents and children.

During a consultation, the GP may review growth charts, feeding and sleep patterns, and developmental milestones such as speech and movement. Physical examinations, hearing and vision checks, and vaccination updates may also be completed as part of routine care.

Parents can discuss any concerns about behaviour, learning, or emotional wellbeing, and the GP will provide practical advice or referrals where needed. If specialist input is recommended, the GP coordinates care with paediatricians, psychologists, or allied health professionals such as dietitians and speech pathologists.

For convenience, families are encouraged to bring their child’s health record, immunisation history, and a list of current medications to each visit.
