Endocrinology

Who we are

Our multidisciplinary services for acute and chronic endocrine (hormone-related) conditions provide specific and individualised medical care, guidance and education. 

If your child’s hormone issue is a primary (standalone) condition, our team will lead their assessment and management at PCH. We also work with other clinical teams in the hospital and community when hormone issues arise secondary to another disorder or treatment. 

Adult endocrinologists are also part of our team to help provide an optimal transition to these services for patients around 18 years of age.

Referrals

All Specialist Rooms, GPs and WACHS referrers are advised to direct all non-urgent referrals for PCH outpatient services to the Central Referral Service.
