Erinn R. Hawkins is a paediatrician on the Gold Coast in QLD, Australia. She works with babies, kids, and teenagers, and helps families when something feels off with a child’s growth, development, or day-to-day health. In paediatrics, it can be the small things that matter most, and it’s often about getting answers, planning next steps, and making sure children are supported in the way they need.
Erinn also has a focus on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). This is a condition caused by alcohol exposure during pregnancy, and it can affect how a child’s brain and body develop. In many cases, the needs show up over time—things like learning challenges, attention and behaviour, speech and language issues, and difficulties with daily routines. At times, kids may also need extra help with school, friendships, and coping with change.
When families come in, the goal is usually to understand the bigger picture. That means looking at the child’s history, how they’re developing, and what support is already in place. From there, the plan can include practical advice for home and school, and guidance on what to keep an eye on as a child grows. It’s not just about a label. It’s about helping a child feel understood and supported, and helping parents and carers know what to do next.
Details about Erinn’s experience and education aren’t listed on this profile, but she is a practicing paediatrician in the Gold Coast area. Information about research work and any clinical trials isn’t included here either. Even so, the approach in paediatrics stays grounded: listen carefully, take concerns seriously, and work step by step with families to improve health and day-to-day wellbeing.
