What we do

We routinely measure height and weight in all children as part of a child’s health assessment.

 

We provide a weight management program for children between two and 12 years old

What to bring

Please bring your GP referral and Medicare card. At the first appointment bring any test results and previous measurements you may have for your child including Blue Book (Personal Health Record) as well as forms that we send you for completion prior to attending.

Ideally both parents/all adult carers should attend the clinic. We welcome all involved carers and family members including grandparents and siblings.

When to visit us

Your child must be referred by your GP or paediatrician. Any child with Body Mass Index above the 85th percentile and aged between two-12 years is eligible to attend.

If possible complete the community based the Go4Fun program prior to starting in the Healthy Kids program. www.go4fun.com.au

Families in the Northern Sydney Local Health District will be given priority over those who live outside this area.
