Janna L. Morrison is a paediatrician in Adelaide, working from Frome Road, SA 5000. She looks after babies, children, and families who need extra care when things are more complex than usual.
Her day-to-day work often involves newborn and early infant health. That can mean helping babies who have breathing trouble soon after birth, or those who struggle to get enough food and grow well. She also cares for babies linked to issues like poor placental growth, gestational diabetes, and low birth weight concerns, where early monitoring and clear follow-up really matter.
In many cases, Janna also supports families dealing with blood and immune-related problems in newborns. These can include ABO incompatibility and other haemolytic conditions, plus ongoing care when a baby needs treatment soon after delivery. At times, she may be part of a team managing more rare newborn complications, like fluid build-up before birth or conditions that affect how babies cope in the first days of life.
She also sees children with breathing and long-term health needs, including asthma. Over time, families may come back for ongoing checks, symptom control, and helping kids and carers understand what to watch for at home.
Some of the conditions she cares for are rare and can be hard to manage, like certain genetic storage disorders such as MPS III (Sanfilippo syndrome) and related forms. For these cases, the goal is steady, practical care—working through what’s happening, planning what comes next, and making sure families get the right support.
Janna brings her paediatric training and clinical experience to the job, with a focus on careful assessment and clear communication. She aims to keep things calm and grounded, especially for families who feel overwhelmed. She stays up to date with paediatric research and current guidelines, so decisions are based on what’s known to work in everyday care.
