About Paediatric Health Collective

A group of experienced, like-minded clinicians united by shared values and a commitment to holistic paediatric care.

A few words about us

The Paediatric Health Collective is a group of experienced, like-minded clinicians who have come together to provide holistic health care with a vision to grow a team that provides a range of paediatric medical and allied health services.

Our collective currently comprises Thrive Paediatrics, Spectrum House Psychology, our independent paediatricians, and Purple Patch Child Therapy.

Our values are front and centre of our clinical care and our goal is to develop a meaningful partnership with families.

We understand that all families have different journeys leading to our service and we value the uniqueness of all individuals.

We strive to provide a welcoming space for all children and families, where they feel heard and supported throughout their care.
