Growth and Development Monitoring
Tracking your child’s growth is essential to ensure healthy development. As part of our routine health check-ups, our GPs assess growth indicators like height, weight, and head circumference, comparing them to age-specific
growth charts. We also monitor developmental milestones such as motor skills, speech, and social interactions.

New To Australia? Make Sure Your Child's Immunisation Records Are Up-to-date
If you and your child have recently moved to Australia or returned after living abroad, it’s essential to have your child’s overseas vaccination records uploaded to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). This step is crucial
for complying with the No Jab, No Play policy, which is a government requirement for school, kindergarten, or childcare enrolment.
We offer a straightforward process to help you upload your child’s vaccination history to the AIR. Simply bring in your child’s vaccination records (translated into English if required), and we’ll take care of the rest. The administrative fee for this service is $80 per child, or $50 per child for multiple children.
Once uploaded, you will receive an AIR Immunisation History Statement, which is required for enrolment in educational and childcare settings. If your child requires catch-up vaccines, we will advise you on the necessary vaccines
and assist with booking appointments. Catch-up vaccines for children under 20 are free under the NIP.

If you are suffering from a mental health issue, a GP should be one of your first ports of call. Our GPs have extensive experience dealing with various mental health issues, including both everyday issues and more serious concerns. This includes:
Referral To A Psychologist Under A Mental Health Care Plan
Note that if you wish to be referred to a psychologist, your GP may be able to prepare a Mental Health Care Plan which will entitle you to a Medicare rebate for some of your psychology consultations. You should see your regular GP
for this.
If you don’t have a regular GP, the GPs working from Langwarrin Health are
more than happy for you to begin seeing them as your regular GP. However, the GPs normally cannot prepare a Mental Health Care Plan for new patients in their initial consultation. Instead, you can book a mental health consultation as your initial appointment, during which you can discuss your mental health concerns. Following this, if appropriate, your GP will suggest you book a follow-up consultation with them so that they can prepare a Mental Health
Care Plan for you.
Skin Cancer Checks
Under our harsh climate, skin cancer is one of the leading health issues and causes of death for Australians.
It is important to have your skin checked regularly so that any skin cancers can be identified and treated as soon as possible.
GPs working at Langwarrin Health are highly trained and experienced in diagnosing and treating skin cancer, so if you prefer to visit a male GP or a female GP, you can book accordingly.
For a skin check, our normal time-based fees apply –
for a full skin check. This will usually be a long consultation.
Health Assessments
We also offer a Health Heart Check for
patients aged 45 and over (or 30 and over if you’re of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent).
Read below for more details of each type of Health Assessment. Remember that prevention really is better than cure!
2026 FLU VACCINES: AVAILABLE
UPDATE: 17th April 2026
Bookings for flu vaccines for 2026 are open.
We offer flu vaccines in vaccine clinic sessions, which are available throughout the week. Bulk billed flu vaccines available for eligible patients. For more information, read the “Government Funded Flu Vaccines” section below.
If you are due a COVID-19 vaccine booster, you may be able to have it on the same day as your flu vaccine, subject to stock availability. Ask your doctor when you attend for the flu vaccine.
If you attend the clinic for a consult for any other reason, you may be able to have the flu vaccine during that consult – this is subject to time constraints, so you may need to attend another day for your flu vaccine. Ask your doctor at the start of the consult.
See below for details of patients who are eligible for a free (government-funded) flu vaccine.
For all other patients with Medicare, a private flu vaccine normally costs $22.
Government-funded Flu Vaccines, In 2026, government funded flu vaccines will be available for free for:
- all children aged six months to four years (ie. including four year olds, but not five year olds)
- all adults aged 65 years and over
- all people aged from six months with medical conditions putting them at increased risk of severe flu and its complications (for example, severe asthma, lung or heart disease, low immunity or diabetes - see the government website for a specific list);
- pregnant women (during any stage of pregnancy)
- all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged from six months.
Your consultation will be bulk billed if you have a valid Medicare card. If you don’t, a consultation fee will apply.
Note that government-funded flu vaccines are only available from GP clinics and other official vaccination providers (ie. it is not always available from pharmacies).
Private Flu Vaccines
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The flu viruses mutate regularly, and there are many different strains – you might have heard of strains such as “swine flu” and “bird flu” that had significant outbreaks in previous years.
The most common symptoms of the flu are the sudden appearance of a high fever, a dry cough, body aches, and feeling extremely weak and tired. Other symptoms can include chills, loss of appetite, sore throat and a runny or stuffy nose. Some people (especially children) also suffer from nausea and vomiting.
The flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season.
However, it is possible to have reactions – you might feel like you have a minor cold, with symptoms such as a sore throat or runny nose for a couple of days. You might also have a sore arm for a few days. While this is irritating, it is obviously better than contracting actual influenza.
Also, at this time of year it’s quite possible that you will have contracted the flu or a cold in the day or two before you get the vaccine but not yet be showing any symptoms, or you might do so in the week or so after the vaccine (noting that the vaccine takes a few weeks to work).
This means it might feel like the flu vaccine has caused your illness, but it hasn’t – you were going to feel sick whether or not you’d had the vaccine.
However, people in high risk groups are entitled to a government funded vaccine as discussed above. With a valid Medicare card, people in these groups are bulk billed and therefore have no out of pocket cost.
It’s difficult to predict when outbreaks of the flu will occur, except that they usually occur in cooler months (ie. winter, plus the end of autumn and the start of spring).
Flu vaccines usually start becoming available at the start of autumn. However, the flu vaccine only has effectiveness for a limited time (about 3 to 4 months), so if you have it too early, its effectiveness may have worn off before the end of the flu season. Indeed, in 2017, most flu cases were in August and September rather than the usual, so people vaccinated in April didn’t have as much protection as those vaccinated later. In contrast, in 2019, the flu started earlier, with a significant number of cases throughout April to September.
It should also be kept in mind that the vaccine takes at least two weeks to work.
If you’re travelling during our summer to cooler parts of the northern hemisphere (where it is winter, the end of autumn or the start of spring), you should consider getting a flu vaccine at least two weeks before you travel.
Also, the flu vaccine only has effectiveness for a limited time – if there is a flu outbreak later in the year (in late winter or early spring), you may be susceptible.
However, given flu outbreaks tend to occur in colder months, it is worth the protection of getting the vaccine at the start of the flu season.
This is especially the case if you’re in one of the higher risk groups discussed above that are entitled to a government funded vaccine. If your not in one of these groups, getting vaccinated will also mean it’s less likely people in these high risks groups contract or suffer serious complications from the flu.
Many people talk about having the “flu” when they actually just have a bad case of the “common cold”. Many of the symptoms are similar, such as a coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, and headache, so it makes sense that people confuse the two.
However, if you do have an actual case of the flu, you tend to know about it because the symptoms are usually much more severe than those for a mere cold. In particular, a person with the flu will usually also suffer from fever and body aches.
This means a person suffering from the flu will likely be out of action for several days, and many people will struggle to get out of bed, let alone make it to work or school. It’s much less likely they’ll be able to take some cold and flu tablets and “soldier on” like people are generally able to do for a cold.
For people in a higher risk groups, a case of the flu may require hospitalisation, and may even be fatal.
In 2024:
over 350,000 Australians had a confirmed case of the flu, but it is likely many more would have had the flu but not been tested (this compares with 289,000 cases in 2023);
the flu was assoicated with 851 deaths in Australia;
4,286 people admitted to hospitals due to the flu, including 2,223 children (with a median age of 4 years) and 2,063 adults (with a median age of 63); and
of those admitted to hospital, 274 were admitted to an intensive care unit (6.4% of hospitalisations).
By getting a flu vaccine, you'll help stop the spread of the flu and therefore provide additional protection to the more vulnerable members of the community such as kids, the elderly and those with low immunity.
