Medical Services
Coastal Developmental Paediatrics is a medical administration company which supports specialist paediatric doctors by providing facilities and administration services for their practice. All of the doctors who attend this clinic are independent contractors and are solely responsible for the provision of medical services and advice for your child.
All Paediatricians at Coastal Developmental Paediatrics provide individualised, specialist assessment and management of childhood developmental and behavioural conditions. Some also provide care for non-acute medical issues in children and infants.
Each specialist paediatric doctor (consultant) has experience in the assessment and management of:
- ASD - Autism Spectrum Disorder (including ADOS assessments)
- ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- Developmental delay, and speech and language impairment
- Intellectual disability/impairment
- Learning difficulties (Dyslexia)
- Behavioural difficulties
- Genetic syndromes
- Sleep, feeding, and toileting challenges in children with developmental difficulties
- Initial assessment for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
Please contact the friendly administration team if you wish to seek further information about services provided by one of the doctors.
If you wish to book an appointment please arrange a GP referral to be sent, named to one of the paediatricians via email (admin@cdpaediatrics.com.au) Medical-Objects or via fax to us. Please note: email correspondence including sensitive information sent to the practice may not be secure, unless emailed with encryption coding. Sensitive information sent via Medical-Objects direct referrals from GP's practices, or faxed referrals, are more secure.
AGE range for Paediatric services: The Paediatricians accept new referrals for children up to 12 years of age according to each doctor's availability (see "For referrers" section of website for updates on specific doctor availability and referral criteria). Some doctors will provide extended care for their existing, well-known older patients up to 16 -18 years of age, depending on the young person's issues. Paediatricians are required to then transition patients back to GP care by 18 years of age, for the GP to facilitate referral on to adult care services. Stimulant medication prescriptions from Paediatricians are not valid once the child turns 18 years.
