Victorian Children’s Clinic

Dr Sarah Arachchi is both professional and caring. She is patient and kind to the teenagers and respectful of everyone. I would recommend her for assisting children and teens with autism, ADHD, anxiety and depression, skin conditions etc.

My son has been going to see a paediatrician at VCC for the last 8 years and we've always been really happy. He has recently started seeing Dr Georgie Bell and she's fantastic!

We have been under the care of Professor Ingrid Scheffer and the VCC for the last 3 years. The care we have received has been nothing short of outstanding at the VCC. Professor Ingrid Scheffer is an exceptional doctor. Thorough, patient, professional, warm, kind and intellectually inspiring. She not only answers our many many questions, she is able to pre-empt the more nuanced subtexts of our many questions and attempts to answer those as well! What a rare gem of a doctor! The support staff are also very professional and efficient, calling to advise if our appointment is running late. I recommend VCC to everyone I can possibly recommend them to.

We have been visiting VCC for over 10 years and the team are always helpful and polite and patient.

A life changing experience for my child and also family. Prof Lubitz was very professional, but also genuine and kind. My child felt properly seen and listened to (as did I) for the first time in many years. We are beyond grateful. Thank you.

Teenager tend not to follow the advice of the grown-ups especially parents. I’m very gratefully to Dr Whitelaw for quickly and easily building trust with my teenage child in building and maintaining healthy eating and lifestyle habits.

Mangesh Jadhav was a great listener and very thorough in his review of my child. I felt reassured by him and what he proposed for my daughter has worked. Thank you Mangesh!

Dr Shaamini Loguke-Hayes is an incredible Paediatrician and I cannot recommend her and the Victoria Children's Clinic highly enough. Shaamini is thorough, caring, supportive, knowledgeable and has been incredible for all 3 of my children as they received teenage diagnoses of ADHD. Her holistic approach and gentle coaching is exactly what my children required, alongside advice and support for navigating learning support and VCAA requirements. The staff at VCC are also excellent. Thank you so much.

I could not recommend Victorian Children's Clinic more highly if I tried.
Dr. Shaamini's care, kindness, common sense and thoroughness have made the world of difference to our child, and because of her, we are confident in our path forward. She has a sweet sense of humour and curiosity with kids, and simultaneously, a fountain of knowledge paired with practicality for parents. Dr. Shaamini is a stellar paediatrician.

So relieved to have Annie Moulden as my Childrens paediatrician. She has been wonderful to my kids and myself. I leave each appointment feeling supported, knowing what I need to do next and am made to feel like I’m a great Mum doing a great job!

Fantastic Doctors that are knowledgable, empathetic and truly engaged in the well-being of my children. Highly recommend.

Dr Cate Rayner is warm, friendly and easily develops a rapport with children. She is genuine, knowledgeable and a great listener. I could not recommend her more highly.

All staff at VCC are extremely helpful and accommodating. Could not recommend more highly.

My two children, aged 7m and 2y9m, have been patients of Dr Cate Rayner since their rather difficult entry into this world. Cate is warm and caring and takes my concerns seriously. She’s meticulous in her work and makes sure I understand why and how certain steps need to be taken. She truly goes far and beyond to provide the best medical care possible and she has my full confidence in the care of my beloved daughters.

I can not recommend Dr Trupti Jadhav (neurologist) more highly. She listens to our concerns as a parent, is thorough, highly skilled, explains things in detail and has gone above and beyond to help manage my daughter’s neurological condition. We have done Telehealth appointments as we live interstate, and Dr Jadhav has done this without any issues.

Started seeing Dr Suzi Riess when our little boy was 18 months as he had a really long string of illnesses and was behind on his speech, and we wanted to work out if it was something we should be worried about. Dr Suzi was so thorough and patient, made sure to get the right tests, helped us to get in touch with the appropriate specialists and followed up when needed. She put our minds at ease and made sure we understood what she was looking into. Our little guy is now almost 2.5 and is happy, healthy and chatting away thanks to the care of Dr Suzi. We would definitely recommend VCC for any parent!

We feel lucky to be part of the VCC client list. It can be very hard to get an appointment, however every effort is made to accommodate us. Dr Kate Harding and Dr Sarah Morrison have been wonderful and I highly recommend them both.

Dr Sarah Morrison is a great fit for our family…empathetic and pragmatic. During and post op care fantastic. Recommended by our close friends and would gladly recommend to others.

Our family have seen Lexi for years and she has been nothing but amazing. She connects with the kids, is thorough, a wealth of information and goes above and beyond when referring issues to specialists. The reception staff are also so kind and helpful both on the phone and in person. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Dr Jayne Smart in my opinion is the greatest paediatrician of all time and we feel incredibly lucky to have her look after our daughter over the last 3 to 4 who has an ASD diagnosis. Her level of care and expertise is none other than world class and her communication with our daughter at the visits are amazing as she really talks to her and gets to the core of the issue therefore offering the best support and advice. At times when I have required that additional support all it takes is an email and she organises an urgent follow-up for our family. Dr Jayne - we are forever indebted to you and thank you so much.from all of the Hutchison family
