The Medicare 3-year-old health check – high value care for families

A Medicare-funded 3-year-old health check is being introduced from November 2026 as part of Thriving Kids.

By age 3 years, more than one in five children have at least one developmental vulnerability, hence this is a timely opportunity for early recognition and support.

Presented by Dr Tim Jones, Chair of the RACGP Child and Young Person’s Health SIG and Deputy Chair of RACGP Tasmania, and Prof. Frank Oberklaid, Group Leader, Policy and Equity at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, this webinar will focus on how to use a general practice team to complete a high-quality check and make the most of the time with families.
