For parents: booking an appointment
To ensure your child receives the most appropriate care, we currently accept referrals from GPs or other healthcare professionals. If you believe your child could benefit from our specialist input, please discuss this with your GP.
We also welcome self-referral for paediatric skin and allergy issues. You can reach us directly via email.
Unsure if your child needs a specialist?
If you’re unsure whether your child’s skin condition, allergy, or developmental concern needs specialist input, it’s always reasonable to have it assessed early. Timely care can often simplify treatment and prevent ongoing issues. Please speak with your GP about a referral. We also offer Telehealth consultations, ensuring families in remote or distant locations have seamless access to specialist care.
Once we receive a referral for your child, our clinic will contact you directly to schedule a suitable appointment time.
