Vitamin D Clinic
Our free, monthly Vitamin D clinic is available to children from all communities with low Vitamin D levels.
Our vitamin D clinic operates on the last Thursday of every month at our balit wurun health centre. Vitamin D is essential for strong bones, muscles and general health, and is crucial for bone and muscle development. We will review and treat individual Vitamin D levels to ensure bone growth.
About Vitamin D Having low Vitamin D can increase the risk of:
- Bone and muscle pain
- Soft and weakened bones in children
- Weak and fragile bones in older adults.
Some people have a higher risk of low Vitamin D levels as the pigment in the skin acts as a filter to light from the sun and reduces the amount of Vitamin D that the body makes.
Do I need to pay? This service is bulk-billed for all eligible Medicare card holders. You will need a referral from your doctor/GP.
