Paediatric Consultation

The early months and years of a child’s life holds many moments of concern and worry for a parent. Our paediatricians understand this and will take the time and care to ensure that you are reassured.

Elizabeth Clinic prides itself on providing a team based approach, including the support of the child psychiatrists and early parenting clinicians. This allows comprehensive treatment across all developmental stages and the capacity to manage nearly all concerns under the one roof.

Our Service

A developmental assessment will usually be carried out over two appointments. For children under the age of five years, a formal developmental assessment (Griffiths III) may be required. This will identify any areas of delay, along with developmental strengths. Each assessment appointment will normally take one hour. A review appointment may also be required to discuss results of any tests or specialised assessments (eg cognitive assessments, learning assessments, specific questionnaires for home and school ). Review appointments duration is usually between 30 mins and 60 minutes.

Autism assessments involve at least two assessment appointments followed by referral to and consultation with Speech Pathology/Clinical Psychology assessors about the assessment and possible diagnosis. If a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is made, a follow up appointment is required to discuss the assessment and plan management. A specialised ASD pathway with your Elizabeth Clininc specialist may be available for patients 12 and under.

Children and adolescents taking medication will need to be reviewed at least every six months, with more frequent review at the commencement of medication. If stimulant medications are trialled, a review six weeks post trial is need to assess response and need for ongoing medication. Please bring any previous assessment reports or investigation results to your appointment. These may include; hearing or vision testing, teacher reports or school psychology reports, previous reports from other Paediatricians, allied health (occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychology) reports.

Dr MARNIE ROWAN

GENERAL PRACTITIONER

B. Pharm MBBS(Hons) FRACGP IBCLC

My area of expertise is in helping mums and babies to breastfeed. I am often asked to help when mum and baby are having difficulties with feeding that require a medical assessment. This can include persistent nipple and breast pain, low milk supply or poor weight gains, oversupply, recurrent mastitis or a baby who is distressed about feeding or having trouble attaching to the breast. I have a particular interest in helping mums who are experiencing mental health difficulties such as depression and anxiety as well as difficulties with feeding. I also see women antenatally who are identified at being a risk of difficulties with feeding such as following breast surgery, or those who have difficulties with a previous baby and who want to plan for a more successful feeding experience with their new baby.
