What is paediatric psychology?

Paediatric psychology is a specialised area of psychology that focuses on the mental, emotional, and behavioural wellbeing of children and adolescents. It looks at how health conditions, developmental challenges, learning difficulties, and family dynamics impact a child’s growth and daily life. In Australia, paediatric psychologists often support children with anxiety, ADHD, autism, learning disorders, chronic illness, and social or emotional difficulties. They use evidence-based therapies tailored to a child’s age, developmental stage, and individual needs.
