Paul B. Colditz is a paediatrician based in South Brisbane, QLD. His practice is on Level 6, 62 Graham St, in South Brisbane, and that makes it fairly easy to get to from around the inner city.
In paediatrics, every child is different, and the plan often needs to fit the family’s day-to-day life. Paul looks after babies, kids, and young people who may be dealing with issues that started around birth, or health problems that show up early and need close follow-up.
A big part of his work involves caring for premature infants and babies who have had complications such as cerebral hypoxia. He also supports children where there was placental insufficiency, intrauterine growth restriction, or where a baby was small for gestational age. These cases can be stressful for families, and it often takes time to understand what a child needs and what progress looks like.
Paul also helps families with long-term neurological and movement concerns. This can include cerebral palsy, including spastic diplegia infantile type, as well as conditions linked to seizures. He sees children for absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures, and he helps manage ongoing seizure care as part of a broader support plan.
Some children also come in after serious early illnesses, where the brain and body were affected. Examples can include encephalitis and metabolic acidosis, and at times problems like hypothermia as well. At the appointment level, the focus is usually on making sense of symptoms, checking what’s improving, and looking at what’s next.
He may also care for children with breathing and day-to-day illness concerns like asthma. That matters because kids can have more than one issue going on, and it helps when care is coordinated and steady.
Paul’s role is not just about treating one symptom. Over time, he works to bring together the pieces—how a child is developing, how their body is coping, and what families can expect with treatment. For many parents, that calm, practical approach is what helps most.
If you’re looking for a paediatrician in South Brisbane who deals with complex baby and childhood conditions, Paul B. Colditz is based locally and ready to help guide families through the early stages and beyond.
