Dr Carlota Espejo Diaz is a Consultant Paediatrician and Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. She completed her medical degree and specialist training in general paediatrics in Spain before life, and marrying an Aussie, brought her to Australia, where she undertook further specialist training in general paediatrics. She has experience across general paediatrics, neonatal medicine, developmental and behavioural paediatrics, and child and adolescent health.

Carlota has a warm, collaborative and family-centred approach to care. She is particularly interested in developmental and behavioural paediatrics, including ADHD, autism, learning differences, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, and the impact these can have on a child’s day-to-day life at home and school.

She enjoys working closely with families, schools, psychologists, allied health professionals and other supports to better understand each child’s strengths and challenges, and to develop practical, realistic management plans.

Outside of work, Carlota enjoys travelling, diving, being outdoors, pottery, and spending time with her husband, friends, her dog Kuma, and her cat Leo. She brings a down-to-earth and compassionate approach to her work, and feels strongly about helping children and families feel heard, understood and supported.
