She holds positions as neonatal specialist in Geelong University Hospital and at Canberra Hospital, and has a keen interest in leadership and education.

Christine’s expertise spans a wide range of areas in the practice setting. These include the specific care for babies and follow up of infants born prematurely, as well as a variety of paediatric medical conditions and neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and autism.

She believes that paediatricians can play an important part in helping their little and not-so-little patients to reach their full potential, and in supporting families on this journey.
