Alison J. Hayes is a paediatrician based in Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Her clinic work looks after children and young people, especially when it comes to long-term health issues that can affect day to day life. Over time, childhood health problems don’t always stay simple, and families can need support more than once. Dr Hayes helps families sort through what’s going on, what to watch for, and the next steps to take.
A big part of her practice is obesity in children and managing child weight concerns. She also sees children living with type 2 diabetes (T2D). These can be tough diagnoses, and they often come with questions about food, routines, energy levels, and how to keep going with healthy changes.
Dr Hayes also helps with other paediatric conditions. This can include folate-deficiency anaemia, where kids may feel tired or look pale, and where blood tests guide treatment. At times, she may also assess tenesmus, which is the feeling of needing to pass stool even when there isn’t much there. It can be uncomfortable and stressful, so getting the cause right matters.
Because some children have complex heart conditions, she also works with cases such as congenital coronary artery malformation, transposition of the great arteries, and ventricular septal defects. For families, these are big worries, and it’s often a mix of medical information, monitoring, and plain-language planning.
Education and experience details aren’t listed here, but the focus in her work stays practical: careful assessment, clear explanations, and support for families as their child’s needs change.
Clinical trials and research details aren’t shown on this page either. If that’s something you’re interested in for a specific condition, it’s best to ask the clinic directly during your appointment.
