COVID-19: Changes to St George Paediatrics
23rd March 2020
Outpatient Clinics
Since the pandemic and foreseeably for the next 6-12 months, we have moved to offering both In-person and Tele-health consultations.
For more information on accessing Tele-health, please click here
New referrals will be triaged weekly as usual, but there may be a delay before you are offered an appointment.
If you believe we have misunderstood the complexity or urgency of your child’s appointment please contact us by email on SESLHD-STGPAEDIATRICS@health.nsw.gov.au

We strive to provide high-quality paediatric specialist healthcare for the infants, children and young people of our local community.
If your child needs ‘urgent’ medical review, it is important to visit your general practitioner [GP] within working hours or for true emergencies after hours - the paediatric emergency department. It is not possible for our administrative staff to assist distressed parents requesting ‘urgent’ clinic appointments.


Prior to the hospital clinic appointment, we are inviting families to send us information on what concerns they would like us to address with them during the clinic appointment.
