Dr Suparna Vaidya is an experienced Brisbane paediatrician at Paeds in a Pod Woolloongabba, caring for children from newborns to adolescents. She provides comprehensive paediatric care across a broad range of conditions, including infant feeding and sleep issues, eczema and rashes, food intolerances and allergies, asthma and respiratory conditions, constipation and bed-wetting, growth and developmental concerns, and complex or chronic medical conditions.

With over a decade of experience in both the UK and Australia, Dr Vaidya applies an evidence-based, family-centred approach, collaborating with allied health professionals, GPs, and specialists to achieve the best outcomes for her patients. She believes that effective communication with families, understanding their goals, and working in partnership are central to paediatric care.

Dr Vaidya holds a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from India and a Fellowship in General Paediatrics (FRACP) from the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. She has completed paediatric training in many leading hospitals in Brisbane, including the Queensland Children’s Hospital, Mater Mothers’ Hospital, Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, The Prince Charles Hospital, Redlands Hospital, and Logan Hospital, as well as Rockhampton Hospital as part of her rural training.

Her passion for paediatrics was inspired early through social work with the Youth Red Cross Society in India, including immunisation programs, blood donation campaigns, and volunteer work supporting children’s health and welfare. As a mother herself, Dr Vaidya understands the challenges of parenting and supports families with practical guidance on child health, growth, and development.

Fluent in English, Hindi, and Marathi, and conversant in Telugu, Dr Vaidya is also known for her warm, approachable manner. She enjoys baking, oil painting, and yoga in her spare time and finds great fulfilment in helping children thrive physically, emotionally, and developmentally.
