A new Medicare health check for three-year-olds has been available since 1 November.
The Healthy Kids check lets doctors assess a child’s physical, social and emotional development before they start school, and pick up any health or developmental concerns early.
Every Medicare-eligible three-year-old can have one check. Book it through your GP.
If needed, the check can lead to a referral to the federal Thriving Kids program or other support.
