We provide specialist child and adolescent psychiatrist services in Brisbane, focused on enhancing the mental health and wellbeing of children and adolescents 0-18 years.
We also provide psychiatrist services for young adults.
Our paediatric psychiatrist works with a range of child and youth mental health conditions, including, but not limited to:
Our approach to paediatric psychiatry care is centred in collaboration and multidisciplinary teamwork. We work closely with general practitioners, allied health practitioners and other specialists to provide holistic support. This collaborative care model ensures that each young person receives personalised, comprehensive care tailored to their unique needs.
Recognising the diversity of individual circumstances, we understand that ongoing care may be best managed directly through our psychiatry services. However, we also acknowledge the importance of flexibility and cost-effectiveness. For some families or young adults, a short period of psychiatric consultation before referral back to their general practitioner may be more suitable. We are also able to offer telehealth.
