Guidance, reassurance and expert care from newborn into childhood.
Where high quality medical care meets family values.
hello!
Welcome to our baby and child health clinic, where our mission is to provide unparalleled care for your precious little one.
We offer comprehensive medical care for infants and children, with a focus on preventative health, early intervention, growth and development, feeding, sleep and family wellbeing. Our goal is to provide accessible, evidence-based care while building trusted relationships with the families we serve.
Whether you need a newborn health check, support with feeding challenges, guidance through sleep deprivation, help with an unsettled or colicky baby or simply a reassuring conversation when parenthood feels overwhelming, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Our clinic offers families a personalised alternative to the traditional, time-limited healthcare model.
We believe exceptional care begins with listening. That’s why we take the time to truly get to know you, your baby and your family’s unique circumstances, providing evidence-based care that is tailored to your families individual needs and parenting goals.
From the early newborn days through infancy and childhood, we’re here to answer your questions, provide practical guidance, and help you feel confident in caring for your child.
Whether it’s feeding, sleep, growth and development, behaviour or your own wellbeing as a parent, no concern is too small.
Parenthood is filled with incredible moments, as well as challenges and uncertainty. Our role is to walk alongside you with compassionate support, expert advice, and continuity of care, so you never have to navigate it alone. Together, we’ll help your child thrive while empowering you to feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the journey.

“I am so glad I found Coast Life Families!
In the world of parenting there is no better feeling than knowing you have support. Even better when that support is as knowledgeable, professional, caring and considerate as that given by Jane & Jess. They go the extra mile to answer questions, provide solutions and ensure that you never walk away without a smile. They are your professional family.”
– JACQ FRAZER
“Cannot recommend Coast Life Families highly enough!
After booking an appointment following breastfeeding issues with our first son in 2022, we met Jess and found her to be so caring and knowledgeable. We felt supported, we felt listened to. Jess gave us the confidence to become great parents. We signed up for the 12 month package and found the support unmatched to any other service available so much so, we extended our support until our son was 2 as we found the service so invaluable.
Skip forward to 2025 to the birth of our second son. It was a no brainer for us to reach out to Jess and Jane for support yet again. We are only 3 weeks into our journey as second time parents and have already felt the value of the service that Coast Life Families provides. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone.“
