Common Child Concerns We Treat
From behavioural concerns to chronic conditions, our paediatric services help you understand your child’s symptoms and guides you toward the right care with confidence.
ADHD & Behavioural Management
Comprehensive assessment and evidence-based management for children with attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and behavioural concerns. We work closely with families and schools to develop practical strategies and personalised care plans.
Autism Assessments & NDIS Access Support
Thorough developmental assessments for autism spectrum disorder, with clear guidance and ongoing support following diagnosis. We provide care planning, coordination with therapists, and long-term developmental monitoring.
Mental Health Assessments & Support
Assessment and management of childhood anxiety, mood concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and other mental health challenges. We offer compassionate, family-centred care with appropriate referrals when needed.
Paediatric Weight Management
Individualised assessment and support for children experiencing growth, weight, or metabolic concerns. Our approach focuses on healthy development, lifestyle guidance, and sustainable, age-appropriate strategies.
Neonatal & Infant Health Concerns
Evaluation and management of common newborn and infant concerns, including feeding issues, growth monitoring, reflux, and unsettled behaviour. We provide reassurance, early intervention, and practical support for new parents.
Chronic & General Paediatric Conditions
Ongoing care for children with chronic medical conditions, as well as assessment of general paediatric concerns. We provide coordinated management, regular follow-up, and continuity of care as your child grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a paediatrician at Medivik?
A referral is not required to book an appointment, but having one from your GP allows you to claim a Medicare rebate. If you’re unsure, we recommend asking your GP for a referral so you can access the rebate while ensuring we have a complete picture of your child’s health.
What should I bring to my child’s first appointment?
Please bring your child’s Medicare card, referral letter, and Blue Book if available. School reports, previous medical records, or short videos of your child’s symptoms can also help us gain valuable insights. These details support a thorough assessment and ensure we provide the best possible guidance for your child’s health journey.
How long will my child’s first consultation take?
Your child’s first consultation usually lasts around 40 minutes. This allows time for a complete developmental and medical assessment, a review of your child’s history, and an open discussion of your concerns. We want you to leave with clear answers, a personalised care plan, and confidence about the next steps in your child’s care.
Our Consultation Rooms
Designed for Care
We believe a patient’s well-being is tied to their environment. Our consultation rooms are a deliberate departure from the dim, cramped rooms and sterile feel of a traditional clinic. The design is built to alleviate anxiety, not to cause it.
