Senior Psychologist Melanie wears many hats, as the face behind support for paediatric patients at Caboolture as well as working with adults too! 👒

Whilst she is highly specialised in the paediatric space, Melanie also works within women's health and inpatient areas conducting patient assessments and interventions, writing reports that support Paediatricians to decide on a diagnosis and working with patients who have complex trauma or mental health conditions.

"Each of these roles are very different, the key for me is in assisting someone to obtain their best possible life as the unique person they are," she said.

"My favourite part of having multiple roles is that it provides diversity, giving me the opportunity and space to grow.

Caboolture Hospital is pumping out new research and sophisticated heart imaging techniques to better identify heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. 🫀🩺

Clinical Cardiologist and Echocardiologist Dr Pyi provides both inpatient and outpatient care and his work aims to better predict patient outcomes and improve the clarity and usefulness of cardiac imaging reports so that clinicians and patients can better understand findings.

“I was inspired by how often conditions such as heart failure and pulmonary hypertension are diagnosed late, when symptoms have already progressed,” Dr Pyi said.

“Clearer reporting also strengthens communication, helping patients feel more informed and supported throughout their care.” ... See MoreSee Less

A very special Easter delivery has arrived at Caboolture Hospital💛

Baby Kyinzi was born on 24 March, weighing 3920g and measuring 58cm — and already skipping straight into size 000!

For parents Deki and Sonam, welcoming their daughter marks the end of a long-awaited and joyful journey. The couple, originally from Bhutan, chose her names that are rich in meaning and tradition, usually after a monk.

“Her first name means ‘god of compassion’ and her middle name means ‘moon goddess’,” Sonam said.

With hopes of heading home soon, the new family is looking forward to a special first celebration together.

“We don’t have big plans yet, but we’re just so excited to take her home and spend our first Easter as a family,” Deki said.

Welcome to the world, Kyinzi. 💕 ... See MoreSee Less
