Geelong Paediatric Group - Dr Mike Forrester

Welcome to Geelong Paediatric Group - Dr Mike Forrester! Located on Ryrie Street in Geelong, our institution is dedicated to providing top-quality healthcare services for children. As a trusted doctor and establishment in the community, we are a point of interest for families seeking expert pediatric care.

In light of the current situation, we kindly request that all individuals aged 8 years and older wear face coverings during their visit to our institution. If you or your child are unable to wear a mask, we encourage you to contact our reception team for advice and alternative options before your appointment. Your safety and the well-being of our staff are of utmost importance to us.

We understand that these times can be challenging, especially for primary school-age children. Therefore, although it is only a recommendation, we highly advise that children in this age group wear masks indoors. This additional precautionary measure helps ensure the health and safety of everyone involved.

In some cases, your child's appointment may be conducted via a video link, utilizing our department of health verified telehealth system. This convenient option allows for remote consultations from the comfort of your own home. Whether you have a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera, you can easily connect with our pediatrician. Prior to your appointment, you will receive a link to access the system, ensuring a seamless virtual experience.

Please note that Medicare requires the patient (your child) to be present during the appointment(s) in order to provide a rebate for the consultation. We kindly request your compliance with this requirement to ensure the smooth processing of Medicare claims.

To access our telehealth system, simply click on the provided link. We have designed this system with your convenience and safety in mind, allowing you to receive the care your child needs without leaving your home.
