Meet Our Clinicians
Experienced independent clinicians. One trusted referral pathway.
The Paediatric Collective brings together experienced independent paediatric clinicians from across Central Queensland.
Every clinician operates their own independent practice while working together through one collaborative network to support children, young people and families.
Whether you’re a parent looking for support or a referrer seeking the right clinician, we’ll help connect you with the most appropriate professional.
