About Kids First
Kids First Children’s Services is a long-established, award-winning paediatric practice based in Brookvale on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
Since 2007, our multidisciplinary team has supported more than 40,000 children and families. Over that time, we have built a strong local reputation for clinical excellence, integrity, and the warm, practical way we support children in their real worlds.
Families come to Kids First through word of mouth, medical referrals, and longstanding relationships with local schools, preschools and community professionals. That trust matters to us.
We have also worked hard to build the kind of practice many clinicians hope to find - experienced, collaborative, well supported, and deeply committed to helping both children and clinicians thrive.
This is a place where good thinking is shared, mentoring is part of everyday life, and clinicians are supported to keep growing in skill, confidence and contribution.
