Calm, friendly GP care for babies, children and teenagers, close to home. We open in April 2027.
Fully bulk billing practice · for eligible servicesChildren's health at Wallan Doctors will include baby and toddler checks, childhood immunisations, care for common illnesses, growth and development reviews, asthma and allergy support, and confidential care for teenagers. Our GPs will see children of all ages from April 2027 and refer to paediatricians or other services when extra support is needed.
Children get sick, grow quickly and change from one month to the next, so it helps to have a GP who knows them. Our doctors will take time to explain things to parents and to children in words they understand, and to make visits feel as relaxed as possible. Bring a favourite toy, ask every question you have, and let us know if your child is nervous.
Many young families are moving into Wallan and the new estates nearby, including Wallan East and Beveridge. We want parents to have a local practice for the late-night temperature that needs checking the next morning, the four-year-old vaccinations and everything in between. From April 2027, Wallan Doctors will offer children's GP care with the whole family in mind, so siblings and parents can often be seen at the same practice.

Vaccinations in line with the National Immunisation Program schedule. Our team will help you keep track of what's due and record each vaccination on the Australian Immunisation Register.
Fevers, coughs, ear aches, rashes, tummy bugs and the many minor illnesses of childhood. Your GP will assess your child and explain what to watch for at home.

Support for children living with asthma, eczema or allergies, including written action plans for home, school and childcare.

Yes. We plan to offer childhood immunisations in line with the National Immunisation Program schedule, along with catch-up vaccinations for children who are behind. Every vaccination is recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register, which you can access through your Medicare account for school and childcare.
Yes. Young people can usually see a GP on their own, and their consultation is confidential, with some safety-related exceptions that your GP will explain. Many teens like to start with a parent in the room and then have part of the visit alone. It's a good way to build independence with their health.
Call 000 or go to the nearest emergency department if your child has trouble breathing, is very drowsy or hard to wake, has a seizure, shows signs of dehydration or you're seriously worried. For advice at any time, healthdirect is available on 1800 022 222.
