Several of our paediatricians (independent doctors) provide outreach services to Ararat, Stawell and Horsham. Please note that these clinics are generally very full, however the accepting paediatrician will consider triaging to this service if there is availability. All paediatricians working at Paediatrics Ballarat are independent medical practitioners.
These services are conducted by trainees or fellows and supervised by the paediatricians.
