Simone Pettigrew is a Public Health Specialist based in Newtown, NSW. She works from 1 King St, Newtown, NSW 2042, Australia.
In public health, the focus is often about prevention and practical support. That’s the lens Simone brings to her work, especially for health issues that can affect whole families and communities, not just one person at a time.
Simone looks after concerns like obesity and obesity in children. She also supports people dealing with sunburn, and helps with questions that come up around common infectious disease health risks, including COVID-19. At times, her work touches on other respiratory outbreaks as well, including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
Because public health is so broad, appointments and advice can feel a bit different from a regular clinic visit. In many cases, the aim is to make things easier to understand, and to help people take small, steady steps that fit their day-to-day life. This can include working out what’s going wrong, spotting patterns early, and putting safer options in place before problems get bigger.
When it comes to kids and families, obesity can be sensitive. Simone takes a calm, non-judgy approach. She helps families think through habits that are hard to change, and ways to make healthier choices feel more realistic. Over time, that kind of support can help reduce stress and improve long-term outcomes.
Sun safety is another area people often need clear guidance on. Simone helps with practical steps for preventing sunburn, and what to do when someone has already been affected. For infectious disease topics like COVID-19, the focus is usually on staying informed, taking sensible precautions, and understanding what guidance means for everyday life.
