Adding children under 18 years
You can add your child (if you are their parent or guardian) through the Tend app:
- Click “Add children to your account” on the home screen under Tasks and follow the screen prompts.
- You can also enrol them during the booking process.
- You can also add dependents under the Account section under Profiles click "Add someone."
- If you don't have children, you can dismiss this task.
Booking casual appointments for children
- If your child isn’t enrolled, you can book them as a casual patient by selecting “someone else” during booking (at select clinics).
Adding adult family members
- You cannot enrol or book appointments for adults over 18 years, including your partner.
- Adults must create their own Tend account to enrol or book appointments.
- They will need their own personal email address to create their Tend account.
- The only exception is if you have Power of Attorney and are acting as their carer.
Managing the healthcare of an adult on the app
We recognise this is often required and we are currently exploring the app feature of securely adding adult dependents on an account with privacy terms and a consent process. This would be for situations when an adult requires a caregiver's support for managing their healthcare, or someone who has a power of attorney to make decisions on the adult’s behalf.
If you need to manage the healthcare of an adult, please call your local clinic and our team can help set this up for you.
