About Us

The partnership behind Thrive Paediatrics, and how we work with families.

How Thrive came to be

✎ Placeholder - replace with the real story

Dr Tanya Newnham and Dr Anisha Pillay formed Thrive Paediatrics to bring their general and developmental paediatric practices together under one collaborative umbrella… (why they started it - shared philosophy, what they wanted to offer families.)

(Their purpose and approach - the kind of care families can expect, and why working together within the Paediatric Health Collective matters.)
