Your First Visit

Valid referral from your GP
Medicare card
Your completed Patient Registration Form (if you haven’t already sent it back)
Your child’s ‘My Health, Learning and Development Record’ (Green Book)
Previous reports (eg x-rays or scans, blood tests, speech pathology, audiology, psychology, school reports)
Bullet points about what you’d like to talk about
We encourage both parents/guardians to attend the appointments wherever possible
If you'd like to speak with the paediatrician without your child present, feel free to bring a friend to wait with your child

Have a conversation about why they are coming
Tell them about the doctor they are going to see and show them the photo on this website
Reassure them that we don’t do any tests or investigations – there are no needles!
Let them know that it’s a relaxed, friendly place to visit
You are welcome to bring your child to the clinic prior to your appointment day to help them become familiar with the environment

At your first 1 hr appointment we’ll:

1. Identify the main issues
2. Review what you’ve previously done
3. Make a plan and allocate priorities
4. Build a team (if required)

We suggest you arrive a few minutes early to complete any paperwork and to give your child time to meet the staff and look around the practice

Separated parents are required to inform us of any Court Order that restricts access of either parent/guardian to the child’s personal information
If NO Court Order exists, all personal information pertaining to the child will be shared with both parents
At kudos, we believe that the best outcome for your child will be achieved when parents are agreed on what is best for their child
Where high levels of conflict exist between parents, it may not be possible for us to provide the best service for your child
