Greta Gillies is a Pediatric Neurologist based in Parkville, VIC, working at Flemington Rd, Parkville, VIC 3052, Australia.
Her clinic focuses on the nervous system in babies, children, and young people. This can mean helping with long-term conditions, but it also covers quicker, worrying changes that need careful checks. In many cases, parents and carers want clear answers and a plan they can follow at home and at school.
Greta Gillies looks after children with a range of neurological and developmental needs. Some examples include epilepsy in children, cortical development conditions, and brain rhythm or movement issues linked to drugs or other causes. She also supports families dealing with syndromes that affect how the brain and body develop, including conditions like Sturge-Weber Syndrome and Rasmussen Encephalitis.
At times, she helps children after sudden or fast changes, such as acute cerebellar ataxia, where balance and walking can be affected. She also works with kids who have ongoing movement problems, including drug induced dyskinesia, and those with hereditary or ongoing ataxias.
Development and learning can be part of the picture too. She sees children on the autism spectrum, and she helps families when brain structure differences are involved, like corpus callosum agenesis, subcortical band heterotopia, or lissencephaly. When there are protein-related concerns or other rare causes, the approach is still about support, monitoring, and making sure the right care is put in place.
Greta Gillies also helps manage rarer brain and tissue conditions such as ganglioglioma and other related neurologic problems. With genetic conditions like Friedreich Ataxia, Coffin-Siris Syndrome, Cornelia De Lange Syndrome, and Miller Syndrome, the goal is often to explain what’s happening in plain language and help families plan for what may come next.
For families, it can be a lot to deal with. Over time, her care brings together careful assessment, steady follow-up, and practical guidance for day-to-day life, whether the issue is epilepsy, developmental needs, movement changes, or something that’s only just been noticed.
