clinic visits Guidelines that are used across Australia
recommend regular health checks for your baby at: - One to four
weeks - Six to eight weeks - Six to eight months - 18 months -
Two and a half to three and a half years - Four to five years
Visiting your GP or community child health nurse on a regular
basis gives you a chance to discuss any concerns you may have as
well as an opportunity to understand how your child is
developing. If you are worried about any aspect of your child's
health or development between scheduled check-ups, you should
make an appointment to discuss your concerns rather than wait.
Personal Health Record (PHR) Every baby born in Australia is
given a Personal Health Record (often referred to as the Blue
Book) at birth. This book provides a record of immunisation and
health checks, as well as mapping the changes in your baby's
development for the first five years
