Paediatric Outreach Services

Paediatric Outreach Services provides specialist medical care for children, with a focus on delivering services to those in rural and remote areas of Queensland. The service is committed to offering equitable healthcare to children who may otherwise have difficulty accessing paediatric specialists. To bridge geographical distances, the practice utilises telehealth solutions, enabling consultations and support for families regardless of their location. This approach ensures that more children have access to the expert care they require.

The service is led by experienced paediatricians who are members of the Royal Australian College of Physicians. They are proficient in various aspects of general paediatric medicine and are dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of their patients. The practitioners have a particular understanding of the unique challenges that families in rural and regional locations face when seeking specialised medical services for their children. They work to provide comprehensive and considerate care tailored to each child's needs.

In addition to virtual consultations, the service also arranges for in-person clinics through a fly-in and fly-out model. This ensures that children can be seen by a paediatrician in a local setting, minimising the need for families to travel long distances to metropolitan centres. The combination of telehealth and local clinics allows for a flexible and accessible service model, designed to meet the diverse needs of children and families throughout Queensland.
