Paediatrics HealthLink SmartForms

Attn: GPs

You may notice two non-mandatory fields located in the ‘Requested Information’ section across all paediatric-related HealthLink SmartForms.

In addition to the pre-populated Next of Kin field, the form now includes space to document:

  • Primary Carer/Support Person
  • Legal Guardian

These fields have been introduced to support child safety and care coordination. In some situations, the person recorded as next of kin may not be the child’s primary carer or their legal guardian. For example, a child might live with a grandparent, foster carer, or other support person who plays a central role in their life and care.

While these fields are optional, we encourage you to complete them when relevant to help ensure the right people are engaged in the child’s healthcare journey.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to safe and effective paediatric care.
