Making referrals and bookings simple
At Paediatric Specialist and Skin, we streamline the process for both GPs and parents to ensure your child receives timely and effective care. Discover how to refer or book an appointment with ease.
Information for general practitioners
We will be commencing clinic services in August 2026 and are pleased to accept non-urgent referrals from now. As we begin clinic sessions, we are committed to maintaining a short waitlist (1 - 2 weeks) to ensure timely assessment and care for every child.
To refer a child, please send a detailed referral letter via ERMS or to our email address. Once the referral has been reviewed, our team will contact the family directly to arrange an appointment.

For parents: booking an appointment
To ensure your child receives the most appropriate care, we currently accept referrals from GPs or other healthcare professionals only. If you believe your child could benefit from our specialist input, please discuss this with your GP.
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 expert care.
Once we receive a referral for your child, our clinic will contact you directly to schedule a suitable appointment time.
What to expect after referral
- A thorough, unhurried assessment
- Clear explanation of the diagnosis
- A structured, step-by-step treatment plan
- Practical advice you can confidently follow at home
- Ongoing follow up for more complex or persistent conditions.
