John C. Mulley is a paediatric neurologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia.
He looks after babies, children and young people who have seizure concerns, especially when seizures may run in families. Many of the cases he sees are linked to genes, so the plan often needs to be careful and long-term, not just a quick fix.
In clinic, John spends time understanding how seizures start, what happens during an episode, and how a child has been developing over time. At times, the story can be small details: the timing, the triggers, and how the episodes look from day to day.
His work covers a range of epilepsy and seizure conditions, including epilepsy syndromes such as Dravet syndrome and genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). He also works with families dealing with myoclonic epilepsy, myoclonic-atonic seizures, and epilepsy with complex seizure patterns in childhood.
John also supports children where the pattern points to specific rare conditions, like Lafora disease and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy. For some babies, he may help families who are dealing with benign familial neonatal seizures. There are other situations too, such as partial familial epilepsy and mosaicism, where the cause can be a bit harder to pin down, and the treatment approach needs to be tailored.
For children with ongoing seizures, the goal is usually to reduce how often episodes happen, and to help keep sleep, learning and day-to-day life as steady as possible. In many cases, that means working closely with carers to spot changes early and adjust care when the child’s needs shift.
John has clinical experience caring for paediatric seizure disorders and epilepsy in Sydney. He also works within the broader care team around the child, so families can get consistent advice and follow-up.
Education details aren’t shown here, but John’s focus stays firmly on paediatric neurology care and practical management of childhood epilepsy. Research and clinical trial involvement aren’t listed here, so the emphasis is on day-to-day clinical support for children and their families.
