Dermatology conditions in babies and children may include rashes, hives, warts, acne, birthmarks and more. These conditions may be caused by dermatitis, viral infections, bacterial infections, fungal infections or other diseases. Treatment varies from anti-itch creams to pain relievers to antibiotics, depending on the condition. Our Paediatric Dermatologist’s can usually easily diagnose the skin condition and get your child started on any treatment, if necessary.

Medicare Rebates for Children
You may also claim a rebate on your consultations with the Dermatologist, if you have a valid referral for specialist treatment from your general practitioner (GP) or another specialist.
If you are eligible for Medicare and have a valid referral, Medicare will refund part or all of your fee.
If you see a Dermatologist for a private appointment, you will have to pay a fee. This is called an out-of-pocket cost.
