- The appointment is private and at a predetermined time (no waiting in line at a pharmacy or child health clinic).
- You can SHOW Rene what it is that concerns you.
- You don’t have to pack-up the kids and drive anywhere.
- You get to meet the person offering the advice.

When are Home Consultations offered?
For consulations within Brisbane, appointment times are: 9am, 1pm and 5:30pm.
For appointments located on the Gold or Sunshine Coast, consultations are offered in the morning or late afternoon/evening.
Appointments are available: Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
What is the most appropriate appointment time?
For babies 6 months old and younger, we strongly recommend a daytime appointment. By afternoon/evening babies of this age are tired and cranky. This only complicates existing issue. It is best for everyone if you see Rene in the morning or at the latest, lunch time.
Over 6 months old, day or night is fine.
