 What we do

We routinely measure height and weight in all children as part of a child’s health assessment.

 

We provide assessment and treatment for general surgery and urology conditions for children under 16 years.

 

This may include: inguinal hernias, medically indicated circumcision or undescended testes.

 

 What to bring

  • Your child's Medicare card
  • NSW Health Blue Book (personal Health Record)
  • Any relevant test or investigation results
  • Your referral letter from your GP/specialist 

 

A surgical nurse will call the day before your procedure to confirm what to bring regarding medications, physical copies of scans and medical devices specifically tailored to you and your procedure. 

 When to visit us

Your GP or non-GP specialist is always your first step in seeking treatment for any condition. You will be referred to our service if your child's treating doctor feels that your child's treatment requires the input of a paediatric surgeon.

 

Once we receive the referral it will be reviewed by our team and you will be notified of the outcome and next steps. 

 

Please note that phone calls from the hospital will appear as a blocked number.  Please answer our call if you can and/or turn on voicemail to allow us to leave you a message.
