Meet the Experts

Dr Scott Dunlop

MBBS BSc(Med) Dip Paed FRACP

Thanks for visiting Kids Consult and allow me to introduce myself.

I am a Consultant General Paediatrician, Founder and Director of Sydney Paediatrics and Kids Consult. I practice from rooms in Hurstville, NSW, Australia.

I consult at St George Private Hospital and Hurstville Private Hospital, where I am the Department Head. I am a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.

I specialise in the care of children of all ages, from newborns to school-leavers, and have a particular interest in newborns, children with behavioural difficulties, and overweight children. I work closely with the multidisciplinary specialists within Sydney Paediatrics.

I trained at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick. I was the Chief Resident Medical Officer in my final year of training, and have been in clinical practice as a Consultant General Paediatrician since 2006.  

I have written extensively in both online and print publications, including Essential Kids, Body and Soul, Webchild, Mother and Baby Magazine, Practical Parenting Magazine and The Daily Telegraph.

I have been a member of Expert Panels for Infant Formula corporates, and have provided Expert Evidence in Medicolegal cases, both civilly and in the Coroner’s Court.

Welcome to Kids Consult, and I hope you make us your go-to location for online medical advice for your family.

Clare Rowe, Child and Family Psychologist

BA.(Psych), PGDip(Psych), MPsych (Ed. & Dev.), MAPS

Clare is the founder of Rowe & Associates Child and Family Psychology. As an Educational and Developmental Psychologist, she specialises in paediatric psychology including assessment and diagnosis of childhood disorders such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, learning disorders and giftedness. She has extensive experience in the treatment of childhood and adolescent anxiety and depression, and parental training in behavioural management with oppositional behavioural difficulties.

Clare specialises in common challenging behavioural difficulties and is passionate about empowering adults to be calm and confident parents through practical and hands on support. Clare also has a particular interest in providing therapy for children and families who are undergoing parental separation and are currently involved with the Family Court. She is available for independent assessment of families and works as a Single Expert Witness.

Clare is a firm believer that children and families should not be in long term therapy - most common behavioural difficulties can be significantly improved in 1-2 sessions of practical help.   She holds onto the belief that in the vast majority of cases, parents are the best therapists for children.

Clare has published research posters at international conferences on athlete pain management, mental resiliency and toughness and the benefits of mental imagery in performance and concentration. She is available for workshops, seminars and professional training. She has been a consultant for government initiatives and to education departments.

Clare is a regular commentator in media publications and has been featured in  Practical Parenting, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Sunday Telegraph, Sydney's Child and Cosmopolitan. She has also provided comment and appeared on Channel Seven's The Morning Show, radio 2GB and 2UE and was the Child & Family Psychologist Expert in the ABC show "Making Families Happy" which aired in 2015.
