Amanda R. Highet is a paediatrician based in North Adelaide, South Australia. She works from 72 King William Road, North Adelaide, SA, Australia.
In her practice, Amanda helps families when a baby or young child has a serious health scare, especially around sudden and urgent concerns. This can include sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and issues linked to cerebral hypoxia.
When families hear words like SIDS or cerebral hypoxia, it can feel overwhelming. There’s often a lot of questions, and people don’t always know what to ask first. Amanda focuses on calm, clear care at a tough time. She looks at what’s happened, what it might mean, and what steps may help next. In many cases, that means working through the basics carefully, including symptoms, how the baby has been since, and what follow-up might be needed.
Paediatric care is not just about treating one problem. It’s also about keeping the big picture in mind. Babies need steady, safe monitoring, and small changes can matter. Amanda supports families as they move through the uncertainty, whether it’s after an emergency, after tests, or while waiting for answers.
She also understands that these situations can bring up strong emotions. Families may feel scared, exhausted, or stuck on “what if”. At times, they might just need someone to explain things in plain English and help them make sense of the next day and the next steps. Amanda’s approach is practical and grounded, with an emphasis on staying organised and keeping care on track.
Because every baby’s story is different, the plan can change from one family to the next. Amanda works to keep the focus on the child’s needs, while also making room for the parents and carers who are trying to cope. Over time, that can help families feel more confident about appointments, checks, and any ongoing support.
