Our team understands that neurological conditions in children can affect development, learning, behaviour, and quality of life. We take a collaborative approach, supporting both families and healthcare providers throughout the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management.

What is Paediatric Neurology?

Paediatric neurology focuses on diagnosing and managing disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles in children. These conditions may be present from birth, develop during childhood, or result from injury or illness. Paediatric neurologists are trained to understand how neurological issues can affect growth, learning, and daily functioning.

Common conditions we see include:

• Epilepsy and seizure disorders
• Developmental delay and learning difficulties
• Cerebral palsy
• Neuromuscular disorders
• Headaches and migraines
• Sleep disorders
• Movement disorders
• Behavioural and cognitive issues related to neurological conditions

Early intervention is key. Prompt referral to a neurologist in Northern Sydney helps identify the underlying cause and allows families and doctors to plan effective treatment and management.

How We Help

At Northern Neuroscience, we aim to provide care that is both thorough and practical.

Comprehensive Assessment

Every child receives a detailed neurological evaluation. Where appropriate, we use imaging, laboratory tests, and other diagnostic tools to understand the condition fully. We also take time to listen to parents and caregivers to get a complete picture of the child’s health and development.

Individualised Treatment Plans

No two children are the same. Treatment plans are tailored to the child’s specific needs and may include medication, therapy, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to allied health professionals such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, or psychologists.

Collaborative Approach

We work closely with referring doctors, schools, therapists, and other healthcare providers. Regular communication ensures that families feel supported and informed throughout the process.

Ongoing Support and Follow-Up

Neurological conditions can change over time. Our paediatric neurologists provide ongoing monitoring and adjust care plans as needed, supporting children and families at every stage.

Referrals and Patient Pathways

We welcome referrals from GPs, paediatricians, and other specialists. Our clinic offers timely appointments to reduce waiting periods and provide early intervention. We know that early assessment and management can make a real difference to a child’s development and overall well-being.

Doctors can feel confident referring patients to Northern Neuroscience knowing that their patients will be treated with professionalism, care, and attention to detail. We aim to make the referral process straightforward and communication clear.

Supporting Families

Neurological conditions can be challenging for families. We provide guidance, education, and reassurance to parents and caregivers, helping them understand the condition, treatment options, and strategies to support their child’s daily life. Our goal is to create a partnership between families, referring doctors, and our team to achieve the best possible outcomes.
