About us

We are paediatric surgeons, and great friends. We’ve worked together across two countries for over 20 years. We have considerable experience from Australia and New Zealand and have been practising in Queensland for over 15 years. We work in the public sector at the Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane and privately in various centres in Brisbane and Sunshine Coast. We offer a wide range of services for children’s healthcare throughout Queensland and Northern New South Wales through telehealth technology.

They are also involved in statewide safety and quality improvement, policy formation and healthcare planning. They are members of various state and national educational and executive boards and committees to improve healthcare outcomes for children.
