Comprehensive developmental and behavioural paediatric assessment and care — integrating paediatrician, psychology, allied health and school — to support children and their families.
A school report that doesn't add up is rarely just about school. A child with big feelings often needs more than one conversation to unpack them. Sleep questions blur into feeding questions blur into sensory questions. Development is rarely a single line on a chart, and the child who's a puzzle at seven is often the child who was a puzzle at four in ways nobody had the language for at the time.
Kids' Dr is Specialist Medical Services Group's (SMSG) paediatric service. Consultant paediatricians work alongside psychologists, counsellors, dietitians, physiotherapists, a podiatrist and a speech pathologist consulting at SMSG for the children and families who need more than a single appointment can offer. Assessment that takes time. Reports written in language families can actually use. Coordination across the disciplines involved in one child's care, and communication with schools when that helps.
Six clinical pathways, each supported by paediatric and allied health practitioners.
Earlwood · 2206
Bangor · 2234
Sans Souci · 2219When you book, you'll see each clinician's next available appointments at the centres they cover. If you're not sure where to start, our reception team can point you toward the right first appointment for what your family is trying to work out.
If your question isn't here, our reception team is a good first stop.
A GP referral is required for the Medicare rebate on paediatric & psychiatry consultations. GPs at SMSG can prepare it, or your child's regular GP can. Some initial screening appointments can be seen without a referral, but the Medicare rebate applies with one in place.
For eligible children with a complex neurodevelopmental condition or an eligible disability, additional rebated allied health sessions may be available under the Complex Neurodevelopmental / Eligible Disability pathway (M10), arranged by your paediatrician or GP.
Paediatric consultations are primarily private billing, with Medicare rebates applying where the child is eligible. Assessment appointments (ADHD, autism, developmental, psychometric) may attract additional fees where the assessment is complex or requires cross-disciplinary reporting. For allied health sessions under Chronic Disease Management or Better Access to Mental Health plans, Medicare rebates apply through those plans. Reception confirms the exact arrangement at booking.
For our general fee structure across the group, see the Fees & Billing page.
Assessment is typically a process across multiple sessions rather than a single appointment. For ADHD and autism, expect an initial paediatric consultation, structured evaluation over subsequent visits, cross-disciplinary input where relevant, and a written report and management plan at the end.
Yes, please. Teacher input is often central to accurate assessment, particularly for ADHD, behavioural and learning concerns. Standardised questionnaires can be sent to your child's teacher as part of the assessment process.
Paediatric appointments are available at Earlwood and Sans Souci. Dr Moe Moe Thinn consults at Sans Souci; Dr Martina Popelkova consults at both centres. Allied support (psychology, counselling, dietetics) is available across all three centres, including Bangor for families in the Sutherland Shire.
Yes. Assessment reports are structured to support conversations with schools. Where school liaison helps, we do it, and we can be a point of contact for school-based accommodations when parents want us to be.
