Child safety and accident preventionKidsafe, the Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Australia, is a non-government organisation that provides child safety and accident prevention information and services to parents and communities at www.kidsafe.com.au Some translated fact sheets are available in the Western Australian and Victorian sections of the website. ImmunisationImmunisation protects children and adults against harmful infections and diseases. Immunisation is not compulsory but is recommended for all children and some adults. Some states and territories require a record of a child’s immunisations before the child attends child care or starts school. Most vaccinations are given by your family doctor or your community health centre. However, some vaccinations are given in schools. Contact your family doctor or community health centre to find out more. The Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) at www.humanservices.gov.au/acir is a national register that records vaccinations given to children and young individuals under 20 years of age. Children and young individuals under 20 years of age who are enrolled in Medicare will automatically be included on the ACIR. Bring their immunisation records with you to the doctor, so they can record any overseas immunisation details on the register. Immunisation is a requirement for some government payments (www.humanservices.gov.au/immunisation). The only valid exemptions from immunisation requirements are for medical reasons.
Dental servicesGood oral health is important for general health and wellbeing. Private dentists are the main providers of dental care. Private dentists usually charge for their services. They are listed in the telephone directory. You may wish to obtain private health insurance to help cover the cost of dental services. The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (at www.humanservices.gov.au/childdental) allows eligible children aged between two and 17 years to receive up to $1,000 in benefits for basic dental services. This benefit is capped over two consecutive calendar years. If you are eligible, the Department of Human Services will contact you. State and territory governments provide some free oral health care (including dentures and pain relief) to eligible Centrelink concession card holders. Contact your nearest medical centre or hospital for details of services in your area. Contact Centrelink to find out if you are eligible.
