Children's Health
We understand that every parent wants the best for their child, hence there are no compromises on the quality and considerate care we provide to children visiting Petrie Family Medical Practice.
Childhood Immunisation Services
Petrie Family Medical Practice’s childhood immunisation service complies with Australian standards and is fully accredited for the storage of immunisations.
All immunisations as part of the government schedule are free.
In addition to the children’s immunisation program, we also recommend consulting with our doctors before travelling overseas.
If school aged children are registered on a current Medicare card, there is no out of pocket fee for consultations for immunisations. If they are not registered on a Medicare card, standard consultation rates apply. See our fees page for more information.
All immunisations are electronically sent to Australian Immunisation Register at time of consultation.
