If available, please bring:
reports regarding your child from other services providers (GP, medical specialists, speech therapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, etc.)
assessment results (psychology assessments, cognitive assessments, school reports, allied health assessments, etc)
letters from relevant services (school, kinder, carers, etc.)

We routinely send out an automated text message 2 – 4 days before each booked appointment, to remind parents of the correct time and date. To confirm that you will bring your child to the planned appointment, please reply ‘Yes’ to this text message. If you can’t guarantee that you will bring your child to the appointment, please reply ‘No - reschedule’ and we will arrange another appointment time that suits you better.
If you fail to notify us of a cancellation, or cancel within 48 hours of your appointment, you may be charged up to the full amount for the consult.
-
If we have arranged blood tests or medical imaging for your child (x-rays, ultrasound, MRI or kidney scans), we will usually plan for your child to come back to clinic for a follow-up appointment to discuss the results with you in person. This helps us provide optimal medical care and patient safety for your child, and optimal communication with you.
Sometimes we will arrange to phone you with the results when the results become available in clinic. If you have not heard back from us when you were expecting to, or if you have concerns that your child’s symptoms are worsening, please call our clinic and we will follow this up as quickly as possible.
