Dr Jayne Antony is a Paediatric Neurologist based in Westmead, NSW. Her clinic is located at Suite 9, Level 1, Cnr Hawkesbury Road and Hainsworth Street, Westmead NSW 2145.
Working with children can be both rewarding and tough. Neurological problems in kids need careful listening, clear plans, and support for the whole family. Dr Antony helps assess and manage a range of common concerns, from headaches and seizures to slower development and changes in behaviour.
Headaches are one of the things families often notice first. In many cases, kids’ headaches can be linked to triggers like poor sleep, stress, or dehydration. At times, they can also be connected to something more neurological, so getting the right check matters.
Seizures are another key part of her work. Seizure management involves more than just stopping an episode. It also includes helping families understand what may be happening, what to watch for, and how treatment fits into day-to-day life. Kids can have very different seizure patterns, so assessments need to be tailored.
Developmental delay is also something she looks at. This might mean a child is taking longer than expected to reach speech, movement, learning, or social milestones. In these situations, families usually want answers and a practical next step. Dr Antony focuses on gathering the right history and observations, so the care plan is grounded in what the child is actually doing.
Behaviour can overlap with neurological conditions, and sometimes it’s hard for families to know what’s “just age” and what needs checking. Dr Antony does behavioural disorder evaluation as part of her paediatric neurology work, helping sort out patterns and possible causes, rather than guessing.
Clinic visits tend to be about getting clarity. That can include working out whether symptoms are likely to be related to the nervous system, or whether they might point to other health issues. Over time, that sort of understanding can make things feel a lot less overwhelming for families.
Education details and other background information are not listed here. Clinical trial and research details also aren’t included in the information provided. Still, the focus remains the same: steady, child-centred care for neurological concerns, with support for parents and carers along the way.
