Our approach

Where prevention meets development

The early years set the foundation for a lifetime of health. Our child-friendly clinic brings experienced GPs, gentle care and evidence-based paediatric expertise together — so every child gets the best possible start.

Protection that starts early

Immunisation is the most powerful preventive tool available for children. We follow the national schedule and make every visit as calm and comfortable as possible.

Personalised advice on the recommended schedule, catch-up vaccinations, and travel immunisations for children are all available at GCMC. Our team takes time to explain each vaccine, answer your questions and ensure the experience is as gentle as it can be — for children and parents alike.

A vaccinated child is a protected child.

Milestones that matter

The preschool years are a critical window for identifying developmental concerns early — when intervention is most effective and outcomes are best.

Our preschool assessments evaluate growth, nutrition, cognitive development and emotional well-being. The 4-year-old health check goes further — assessing vision, hearing, motor skills, speech and social development to ensure your child is ready for school. If we identify anything that warrants follow-up, we'll refer promptly and guide you through next steps.

Early attention, lasting impact.

Frequently asked

Children's health, answered clearly

Common questions our paediatric GPs hear from families across the Gold Coast.

When should my child start immunisations?

The schedule begins at birth and continues through childhood and adolescence. Key early milestones are at 6 weeks, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months and 18 months. We'll walk you through the full timeline and explain what each vaccine covers at every visit.

What does the 4-year-old health check cover?

It covers vision, hearing, speech and language, motor skills, and social and emotional development. It's designed to identify anything that might affect school readiness, and gives parents dedicated time to raise any concerns before their child starts school.

How do I know if my child's development is on track?

Our preschool assessments use established developmental frameworks to evaluate growth and milestones against age-appropriate benchmarks. If we notice anything that warrants follow-up, we'll refer you promptly and guide you through next steps — always with clear, honest communication.

Are your doctors experienced with children?

Yes. Our GPs have extensive paediatric experience across immunisation, developmental assessments and general childhood health. The clinic environment is designed to be child-friendly and our team is practiced at putting young patients — and their parents — at ease.

What should I bring to my child's first appointment?

Bring your child's health record (the blue book if you have it), any previous test results or specialist letters, your Medicare card, and a list of questions or concerns. We'll make sure your child's immunisation history is up to date and take care of the rest.
