Metabolic Clinics
The Metabolic Clinics around Australia provide comprehensive diagnostic and management services for children and adults with inborn errors of metabolism. As these diseases are complex and affect many organ systems, children and adults who may have one of these conditions should be cared for by medical experts in the field. The Metabolic Clinics are run by a team of highly skilled specialists including metabolic doctors, nurses, dietitians, psychologists and social workers who are trained to look after people with metabolic disorders.
