FAST-TRACKED PAEDIATRIC CARE

CARE WHEN YOUR KiDS NEED IT MOST

Our story

Your kids are precious and important. We really get it. That’s why we will see them in a Snap. We provide the highest quality specialist care when your child needs it most.

As parents, we understand that the health and development of your children can be one of life’s biggest stressors and is a critically high priority.

As specialist Paediatricians we have the best knowledge, training and experience to assess and manage your child’s urgent health needs.

As Emergency Paediatricians, we experience firsthand the difficulty that families have in accessing urgent care for their children, when they need it most. Wait times are often unacceptable and primary care (GP) appointments can be too short to understand the whole problem or complete a full assessment. Sometimes, there is no other option but to take your child to the Emergency Department - an increasingly overwhelmed service with long wait times, rotating junior doctors, exposure to other illness and trauma, and more challenges.

Until now… “Snap”
