Welcome

The Victorian Forensic Paediatric Medical Service (VFPMS) is a statewide coordinated medical service providing assessment and care for abused, assaulted and neglected children and young people.

Our services are provided using the most efficient and effective aspects of the Health system. We work collaboratively with Victoria Police and Child Protection ensuring integrated services.

VFPMS offers 24 hour access to expert medical opinion regarding possible child abuse and neglect.
We encourage early consultation as this may minimize complications and reduce any angst
experienced by children and young people.

Our services are provided at the Royal Children’s Hospital and Monash Medical Centre. Appointments can be arranged by calling 1300 66 11 42.

We strive to provide a comprehensive and effective service at all times and warmly encourage your
feedback on our service.
