How We Help

We provide healthcare for babies, children and teens in a welcoming, inclusive space.

Our Nurse Practitioners are experts in children's health and have many years of experience. We work in partnership with you to learn about your child's health. We provide the latest research and information on treatment options so you can make the best decision for your family.

Sometimes you may need extra time and support, after all being a parent is not always easy. If you are struggling with any aspect of being a parent, we can provide non-judgemental support and coaching to help you feel more confident and build better connections with your children.

Eczema and other skin concerns
Weight concerns (The OWL Program)
Behaviour or developmental concerns
Constipation, toilet training and
bed wetting
Asthma
Unsettled babies
Sleep problems
Anxiety and wellbeing
Parent support and coaching
Health checks

Developmental Concerns

We offer development and behavioural screening and can suggest if formal testing is needed. We can make referrals to specialists and help you to understand how the public and private systems work and support you during the process.

Eczema / Skin Problems

Many families who see us are really confused about the best care for eczema. We help you understand the different creams and medicines and how they work. We will show you how to keep eczema under control and find the ‘triggers’ that make eczema worse. You will also get a personalised plan to take home.

Asthma

We will explain about wheeze and asthma in babies, children and teens. We will show you how to use a spacer and give practical tips for good asthma control. If needed, we will give you an action plan for different levels of asthma: when well or unwell.

Health Checks

We offer 4-year-old health checks to meet Centrelink requirements.

We can also do health checks for children and teens at any age if you have concerns or would just like a detailed health and well-being check-up.

Weight Concerns (The OWL Program)

The OWL Program is designed for children and teens living with overweight or obesity. Our flexible, supportive approach helps families make lasting lifestyle changes to achieve a healthy weight. Read more about the OWL Program here.

Teen Wellbeing

We know that the teen years can be tricky and we want to help teens and their families to stay strong and feel good. Whether it is about eating right, staying active or managing stress we can guide and support you to stay healthy and happy together.

Parent Support

We meet many parents who feel they would like to parent differently, but are not sure where to start or what to do. Some parents find a guiding hand or coaching makes a big difference. We will help you to set achievable goals to be 'good enough' parents.

Toilet Training / Bedwetting

Dealing with bedwetting and toilet training can be hard for parents. The good news is, with the right help and advice, your child can get through these challenges. We will support you with routines aiming for independent toileting & dry nights.
