Stina Oftedal is a paediatrician who works with kids and families in Callaghan, NSW. Her practice is based at University Drive, Callaghan, NSW 2308, Australia. Kids can feel hard to manage at times, especially when sleep, movement, or feeding are all part of the picture.
In many cases, Stina helps children who live with cerebral palsy and related movement issues, including spastic diplegia. She looks at what’s going on day to day, not just the headline diagnosis. That can include things like muscle stiffness, changes in mobility, and the knock-on effects these can have on daily routines.
Stina also has experience working with children who use a gastrostomy. Feeding can be stressful for parents and carers, so the appointment often focuses on practical help—what to watch for, how to keep things steady, and how to work out a plan that fits into normal life. Over time, small adjustments can make a big difference for comfort and confidence at home.
Sleep matters too. Stina helps families with insomnia, especially when it affects school, behaviour, and everyone’s energy levels. Sleep issues can have many causes, and it’s not always one quick fix. Stina takes a calm approach, working through the basics and then helping families try options that are realistic to follow.
As a paediatrician, Stina’s care is centred on the child, with the family in mind. Children’s needs change as they grow, so care can shift as well. You might see her for ongoing support, for reviews after treatment changes, or to help get clarity when things feel stuck.
When it comes to clinical trials or research, there’s no specific public detail here. The focus is on care that supports the everyday needs of children and families. If you’re looking for support in managing cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia, gastrostomy care, or insomnia, Stina can help you make a practical plan and understand what to do next.
