Vicki A. Anderson is a Pediatric Neurologist based in Parkville, VIC. You’ll find her practice at 50 Flemington Road, Parkville, VIC 3052, Australia. In this role, she looks after kids and teens who have problems with the brain, nerves, and how the nervous system develops and works.
Her clinic work often covers things like ADHD and other learning and behaviour concerns, plus headaches and ongoing memory or thinking difficulties. She also helps families when a child has had a concussion or traumatic brain injury, including when symptoms hang around longer than expected. At times, she supports children dealing with sleep issues such as excessive daytime sleepiness and obstructive sleep apnoea, because poor sleep can make brain and mood symptoms feel worse.
Vicki also sees children with epilepsy, different seizure types, and related conditions. She may be involved when there’s a need to sort out ongoing seizure patterns, or when a child has a more complex neurologic picture. Some children come in with autism spectrum disorder or developmental dysphasia, and others need support after a stroke or with conditions affecting how the brain forms, like corpus callosum agenesis or craniosynostosis.
There are also rarer diagnoses that sometimes come through her care. These can include neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), fragile X syndrome, Dravet syndrome, and metabolic or genetic conditions such as urea cycle disorders and Maple Syrup Urine Disease. She works carefully with families to make sense of what’s happening, and to plan next steps that are realistic for everyday life.
Over time, her approach focuses on clear explanations, careful follow-up, and working with other health professionals when needed. While specific research projects and clinical trials aren’t listed here, she aims to stay up to date with newer care ideas and best practice guidance that can help families make informed decisions.
