Allied Health

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 offering a multidisciplinary approach when needed, 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.
