Cardinia Paediatric Specialists

Cardinia Paediatric Specialists is a practice in Pakenham dedicated to the healthcare of children, from newborns to adolescents. The clinic provides specialist consultations for a variety of paediatric health concerns. A valid referral from a General Practitioner is required for appointments, which enables patients to receive applicable Medicare rebates. The practice operates as a private billing clinic and does not offer acute care services.

The paediatricians manage a broad range of medical conditions affecting infants and children. This includes the care of babies born prematurely, feeding difficulties, and concerns regarding growth. They also address common acute and chronic childhood illnesses such as asthma, eczema, dietary intolerances, constipation, and sleep difficulties.

In addition to general paediatric medicine, the specialists have a focus on developmental and behavioural issues. The clinic provides assessments and management for children with suspected or diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and developmental or speech delays. The team is committed to providing holistic and comprehensive care tailored to the individual needs of each child.
