Roshan J. Selvaratnam is a paediatrician based in Clayton, in Melbourne’s south-east. You’ll find the practice on Level 5, 246 Clayton Road, Clayton VIC 3168, Australia. This is a clinic set up for families who need clear answers and steady care for their kids and babies.
As a paediatrician, Roshan looks after children from early life through the growing years. A big part of the work here is supporting babies who are dealing with issues around growth and early health. In many cases, that can include intrauterine growth restriction, where a baby’s growth slowed during pregnancy. It can bring extra worries for parents, especially when it comes to feeding, weight gain, and how the baby is developing over time.
Another focus is high blood pressure in infants. Infant blood pressure is not something to ignore. When it shows up, it needs careful checking and ongoing monitoring. The aim is to understand what’s going on, keep symptoms under control, and help families feel more confident about the next steps.
Roshan also works with concerns linked to preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy condition that can affect the baby’s early health. After birth, some babies may need closer attention, and the care plan often follows what the baby needs rather than a one-size approach. Support can include reviewing growth trends, watching for changes, and helping parents know what’s normal and what needs attention.
Day to day, the approach is practical. Appointments usually cover the child’s story, how they’ve been feeding, how their growth is tracking, and any test results already done. Over time, the goal is to build a plan that fits the family’s situation, whether that means closer follow-ups, extra checks, or coordination with other health services.
In terms of experience, Roshan has hands-on experience caring for babies and children with growth and blood pressure concerns, including the kinds of issues that can follow pregnancy complications. The education pathway is in paediatrics, with ongoing professional learning to keep up with best practice in child health.
