A clear starting point

A little preparation can help.

Every child arrives with a different level of familiarity and different care needs. Confirm the appropriate clinician and appointment type, then ask how to prepare for that visit.

01

The right appointment

Share your child's age and care needs so the office can confirm availability, clinician suitability and any referral requirements.

02

Comfort and communication

Explain any worries, sensory needs or previous experiences. Discuss what can be accommodated before the appointment.

03

An individual care plan

Ask which examination, imaging or preventive options are recommended and why, together with their costs and alternatives.

Prepare for your visit

Questions for your child's first step.

You do not need to decide on treatment before asking a question.

  • Is this the appropriate office and clinician for my child's age and needs?
  • How should we prepare, and what can we expect at this appointment?
  • What imaging or preventive care is being recommended, and why?

A little more detail

Your questions.

General information can help you prepare. Your clinician can explain what applies to you.

Do you see infants and children of all ages?

Contact your preferred office with your child's age and needs. The team can confirm the appropriate appointment, available clinician and whether specialist care or a referral is needed.

What if my child is nervous?

Tell the team in advance. Discuss your child's concerns, communication preferences and any accommodations before deciding how to approach the visit.

Will my child need X-rays?

The clinician should explain which imaging, if any, is appropriate for your child's individual needs. Ask about the reason, expected benefit and safety measures before imaging.
