Prof Pete Smith is a Paediatric Allergist and Immunologist based in Southport, Queensland. He works with kids and their families, helping them deal with allergies and immune system issues in a way that feels practical and calm. You’ll often see him supporting children who have ongoing allergy symptoms, skin reactions, wheeze, or breathing troubles that need proper checking.
His clinic is at Level 5, Suite 4, 123 Nerang Street, Southport QLD 4215. The focus is on children, not adults. That means appointments are set up with young patients in mind, and the care is built around how kids actually cope with symptoms day to day.
Allergy testing for children is a key part of his work. In many cases, getting the right tests helps families understand what’s likely causing symptoms, whether it’s something in the home, food-related triggers, or things kids come into contact with at school and outdoors. For some families, the process also brings a bit of relief, because vague “maybe” answers can be hard to live with.
He also looks after asthma management for young patients. Asthma can show up in different ways, and it’s not always the classic wheeze people expect. Over time, he helps families spot patterns, work on day-to-day control, and make sure kids have a plan for times when symptoms flare up. The goal is steadier breathing and fewer sudden setbacks.
Immunisations for kids are another important part of his practice. Immunisation decisions can bring up lots of questions for parents, especially when a child has allergy concerns or a history of reactions. In these moments, he focuses on clear information and careful planning, so families can feel confident about the next steps.
Alongside this, Prof Smith treats common childhood allergies. That can include reactions that affect the skin, the nose, or the gut, as well as allergy symptoms that come and go. In day-to-day care, he tends to take a steady approach: work out what’s happening, choose the right treatment, and review progress so the plan stays on track as the child grows.
