Dr Meredith Wiggins is a Paediatric Haematologist who works in Randwick at Sydney Children’s Hospital. She looks after children and young people who have health issues linked to blood and how it works in the body. That can include problems with iron, anaemia, and bleeding symptoms.
For many families, the first step is often blood tests. Dr Wiggins helps children get the right tests done and then works out what the results might mean. In many cases, she focuses on iron deficiency screening, because low iron is common and can affect energy, growth, and day-to-day wellbeing.
She also helps manage anaemia in kids. Anaemia can have different causes, so the approach is usually to take a careful look at the bigger picture, not just one result. Over time, this kind of steady, practical follow-up can make a real difference for both children and carers.
Another big part of her work is checking bleeding disorders in children. If a child has easy bruising, frequent nosebleeds, or bleeding that seems out of the ordinary, it can be stressful for the whole family. Dr Wiggins supports families through the process of assessment and next steps, aiming to bring clarity and a plan that fits.
You’ll find her care is calm and grounded. Blood-related conditions can feel scary, especially when you’re not sure what’s going on yet. Dr Wiggins keeps things clear and helps families understand what’s happening, what the tests are for, and what treatment may be needed if a cause is found.
In terms of experience, she has experience caring for children with common and more complex blood-related issues, including anaemia and possible bleeding disorders. She works with the paediatric team at Sydney Children’s Hospital to coordinate care so families aren’t left juggling appointments and information.
Her education is centred on paediatric medicine and paediatric haematology, with specialist training to support children with blood conditions. Clinical trials and research details aren’t listed here, so the focus stays on the practical care she provides in clinic and through hospital-based services.
