Lisa M. Askie is a Pediatrician based in Camperdown, NSW, working at 92-94 Parramatta Road, Camperdown, NSW 2050, Australia.
Lisa’s work covers both newborn care and child health. In many cases, she looks after babies who are premature or have had tough starts, including concerns such as breathing problems, poor oxygen levels, and complications around birth. She also sees children and families for ongoing health issues, like obesity in children, food allergies, and atopic dermatitis. At times, her patients may be dealing with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia, or problems that started after a period of hypoxia.
There’s a focus on clear, practical care. Newborn health can be stressful, and Lisa aims to help families understand what’s going on and what the next steps are. Her approach is grounded in day-to-day medicine, with attention to how a child is feeding, breathing, growing, and coping, as well as how the family is managing at home.
Over time, Lisa has built experience across a wide range of paediatric and newborn conditions. This includes emergencies and short-term problems, as well as longer-term needs. Examples include neonatal sepsis, neonatal abstinence syndrome, intraventricular haemorrhage of the newborn, retinopathy of prematurity, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. She also cares for children with infant high blood pressure and supports families when complications like preeclampsia and eclampsia affect newborn outcomes.
Lisa’s education and clinical training support her work in paediatrics and newborn care. She also keeps up with changes in medical practice through ongoing professional learning, so her advice stays current. Research or clinical trial involvement is not listed here, but she works within standard care pathways and aims for safe, evidence-informed treatment for each child’s situation.
