Troy Wanandy is a paediatrician based in Hobart, Tasmania. You’ll find the clinic at 48 Liverpool Street, Hobart, TAS 7000, Australia. Troy looks after babies, children and young people, with care that focuses on what’s going on in the body and what the family needs day to day.
Paediatric care can be stressful, especially when something happens suddenly. Troy’s work includes conditions like anaphylaxis, where a child can become unwell quickly and needs prompt support. It’s the sort of situation where clear steps and fast action matter, and families often need both medical help and reassurance at the same time.
Over time, Troy also supports children who have stomach and belly problems, including peritonitis and secondary peritonitis. These are serious issues that can cause strong pain, feeling very unwell, and other body changes. In many cases, the goal is to help the child get the right treatment and to keep parents informed throughout the process, from early assessment to next steps.
Another area Troy deals with is neonatal abstinence syndrome (often called NAS). This can affect some newborn babies after exposure to certain substances before birth. It can look different from baby to baby, and it usually means close monitoring and a steady plan to help the baby settle and feed better. Families often want to know what to expect, and Troy’s approach is about being practical and calm when things feel uncertain.
As a paediatrician, Troy works with kids across a range of presentations, not just one type of problem. That might include children who are brought in for ongoing concerns, or those who need urgent review because things aren’t improving. At times, it can be hard to work out what’s behind symptoms, so careful checking and good communication are important.
In clinical practice, Troy aims to balance medical decisions with the reality of caring for a child at home. That means explaining things in plain language, taking time to answer questions when it counts, and making sure the plan is clear. If follow-up is needed, it’s treated as part of the care, not an afterthought.
Details like education, research, and any specific clinical trials aren’t listed here. But the core focus is clear: paediatric care in Hobart, with support for families facing serious childhood and newborn health issues, including anaphylaxis, peritonitis, secondary peritonitis, and neonatal abstinence syndrome.
