Children and young people are also considered as a priority group, so tell the receptionist when you call to make an appointment who it is for, and you may not need to go on a waiting list.

For those under 13 years who have a health care card or a pensioner concession card, this service is FREE.

For those under 13 years who do no have these cards, there will be a one off payment that will cover most treatment required.
