We have strong professional links with the Mater Mother’s Hospital and Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane and can arrange referral to these hospitals if required.
We communicate regularly and clearly with your family doctor, generally sending them a letter summarising your child’s current health issues and status after each visit.
Sunshine Coast Paediatrics has strong links with children’s psychology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech pathology services within our region.
The following websites are recommended by Sunshine Coast Paediatrics as being of a high standard and generally providing quality information about child health.
Of course, these websites are not under our control so we can’t completely vouch for all of their content.
