Dr Jane Smith | Consultant Paediatrician
MBBS DCH FRACP | ABN 12 652 484 336
I enjoy the diversity and challenge of managing the full range of general paediatric medicine in infants through to teenagers.
I have a special interest in feeding, growth, settling and sleep issues in infants and young children.
My consulting days
Except when taking leave and on public holidays, I consult at Prosper Paediatrics, Toorak Gardens on most Mondays and Tuesdays.
Contacting or booking appointments with me:
My reception team, Prosper Paediatrics, can be contacted and will manage any requests or bookings on my behalf during the business hours of each week.
Unfortunately, due to extremely long wait times and extremely tight bookings, I have closed my books for all new patient referrals.
I may consider acceptance of a referral, very occasionally, if sent to me, via Healthlink (or Argus, Medical Objects or Referral Net) if it details significant or serious clinical concerns and
a pressing or urgent need for specialist paediatrician assessment, diagnosis and management regarding
medical concerns in infants, children and adolescents.
infant, toddler & preschooler developmental concerns.
and fully details previous, current or planned clinical or allied health assessment, management or therapeutic pathways, referrals and interventions for the concern.
If a patient has a long wait to see me, I would be happy for them to see another paediatrician if an earlier appointment with them can be offered. If that paediatrician is not associated with Prosper Paediatrics, please ensure you let us know if you are accepting an earlier appointment elsewhere so we can offer an earlier time to another patient on my list or another associated paediatrician’s list..

My professional training and experience.
I was born and raised in Adelaide and graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery in 2009. I completed my general paediatric training at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Flinders Medical Centre, Lyell McEwin Hospital and the Royal Darwin Hospital prior to admission to the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP).
As a mother to three young children, I understand the demands of a busy family life.
