Dr Marianne Yanni | Consultant Paediatrician

MBBS, BPharm, DCH, MPhil (clinSc), FRACP | ABN 75 750 232 465 |

I am experienced in and enjoy the variety and challenges of general paediatrics and adolescent medicine. My particular interests include:

  • Neonatal medicine (especially fussy infants and feeding issues)

  • Developmental and behavioural paediatrics

I am an accredited Autism Spectrum Diagnostician with Autism SA. If I feel a formal assessment is needed and your child is under 5 years of age, I may agree to conduct it but will generally refer your child to an accredited Allied Health diagnostic team.

I conduct my private practice in association with Prosper Paediatrics and consult in their rooms at Toorak Gardens.

I am also accredited as a visiting consultant and provide neonatal care at Burnside Hospital. I am also accredited and sometimes look after newborns at Calvary North Adelaide Hospital when needed.

CONTACTING OR BOOKING APPOINTMENTS WITH ME :

My reception team, Prosper Paediatrics, can be contacted during business hours. They will advise me of any requests or issues and assist me in managing these and my appointment bookings.

Unfortunately, due to very long waits and extremely tight bookings, I have closed my books to all new patient referrals except via private neonate referrals at Burnside Hospital.

GPs and other healthcare providers are asked to use ELECTRONIC MESSAGING wherever possible.

Consulting days:

Except when taking leave, or on public holidays, I generally consult in my private practice at the Toorak Gardens rooms on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays Fridays and some Tuesdays.

You obstetrician can book my attendance to your C-section delivery at most times during the week. If a non-surgical delivery is planned, let them know if you would like me to be your newborn’s paediatrician. I see neonates under my care during daily rounds and share cover with my colleagues for any unplanned but necessary neonatal attendances. The hospital midwifery team can contact me whenever needed regarding neonates under my care.

Books are closed

Unfortunately, due to my severe capacity constraints and long wait times, my books are currently closed to all new patient referrals except via private neonates.

My Admin and Reception Team:

I have engaged Service Provider, Prosper Paediatrics to provide and manage the administrative services and consulting facilities I need to help conduct my private practice.

Prosper Paediatrics provides reception services to my practice. Please contact them about bookings and any other matters. Through its staff, systems, and procedures, Prosper Paediatrics will reliably and promptly ensure I am kept informed and see any requests, questions, letters, and reports. They take care of the administrative side of things so I am able to concentrate on the clinical aspects of my private practice.

The company and its staff are experts in private paediatric practice administration, including all relevant aspects of administration for paediatric specialist practice, including Medicare, NDIS, private health, billing and rebates.I conduct my private practice in association with Prosper Paediatrics' services. I have engaged them so that I can have consistent, well-designed policies, procedures, systems, and a practice environment that helps me deliver excellent patient care.

My training

I completed my general paediatric training at the Women's and Children's Hospital, Flinders Medical Centre, Lyell McEwin Hospital and Port Augusta Hospital. My training included valuable additional experience in the Child Development Unit of the WCH prior to admission to the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in 2019. 

I graduated from Griffith University in 2010. I completed a Masters by Research through the Women's and Children's Vaccine and Clinical Research Trial Unit & the University of Adelaide. My Masters evaluated the incidence and risk factors of Neonatal Group B Streptococcal Infection. Prior to becoming a doctor, I worked as a pharmacist in Australia and the United Kingdom. ​

A bit more about me

My private practice is balanced with a position with the Women’s and Children’s Hospital CAVUC Service and a busy family life.  I try to keep my sense of humour and light-heartedness in play as I work to help young people with the issues and challenges that bring them to me.

My Neonatal care fee gap schedule:

The gap is the portion of my fees not covered by standard Medicare rebates or, if for admitted care, your health fund’s remittance.

Most families are eligible for additional Medicare Safety Net rebates, further reducing these standard gaps. Please contact my Accounts or Practice Manager for further information.

Detailed information about neonatal care in the hospital is here, new baby follow-up care, here and neonatal billing, here.

The maximum out-of-pocket cost for your account will be $600 ($850 max for twins).

  • This gap may apply where, during your baby’s stay in the hospital, any attendance to your baby is required for

    • an out-of-hours planned C-section (between 5.00 pm to 8.00 am)

    • an unplanned C-Section or other urgent need for assessment and care.

  • Families should budget for this in case this kind of attendance is needed.

    Otherwise, your maximum gap will be either

    • $500 where initial attendance to baby is at a planned in-hours elective procedure (e.g. elective C-section) or

    • $350, where all attendances to your baby after delivery are routine, in-hours or within my planned rounds.

    • If you have concerns about settling the whole invoice in one payment, an itemised payment plan may be agreed but first, enrolling your baby promptly in Medicare will be important.

I have established my fee schedule to assist families in planning for their care costs, but I may vary these fees at my discretion.
