Paediatrician and Child Psychology near Lake Macquarie

Families from suburbs around Lake Macquarie, including areas such as Belmont, Charlestown, Warners Bay, Cardiff, Speers Point and Toronto, travel to see our paediatricians, psychologists and allied health team. Our Merewether clinic at 25 Llewellyn Street and our Carrington clinic at 93A Young Street are both within convenient reach of the northern and eastern parts of Lake Macquarie.

We provide general and developmental paediatrics, autism assessment, ADHD assessment and care, psychology, occupational therapy, speech pathology and dietetics. Families choose the service and location that suits them best.

Where it is clinically appropriate, many appointments can be conducted by telehealth, which can save travel time for families further from our clinics. You can read more on our telehealth page. Telehealth is not suitable for every appointment, and your clinician will advise what is appropriate for your child.

New patients need a valid GP referral before an appointment can be booked. Once your GP has sent a referral, please call us on 02 4072 1877 to arrange an appointment at Merewether or Carrington, or to ask about telehealth. See our fees and referrals page for more detail. Families further west may also find our Hunter Valley page helpful.
