Dr Joseph Khouri

Children with special needs, need specialised care.

Dr Khouri is a general paediatrician practicing at Liverpool in South Western Sydney. He is a consultant paediatrician at Liverpool Hospital. 

He studied Medicine at the University of Sydney. 

Following residency at RPA Hospital, he trained in General Paediatrics at the Sydney Children's Hospital in Randwick NSW, and its affiliated hospitals.  

He is a fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, and a conjoint lecturer for the University of New South Wales medical school.

He holds a Master in Public Health from the University of New South Wales.  

Dr Khouri is a general paediatrician and can facilitate the management of paediatric medical conditions up to the age of 16 years. 

He has a special interest in children with rare diseases who may need complex care. 

Quality of care for children with complex medical problems needs a teamwork approach from all areas of healthcare, education and social services. This includes the collaborative care provided by parents and caregivers, family doctors, specialists, hospital doctors, nurses, allied health practitioners, teachers, psychologists, as well as government and non-government organisations and their supporting staff. 

For children with behavioural, learning or severe developmental problems, such as ADHD and autism, they may be better managed by a developmental paediatrician. 

Dr Khouri, like all paediatricians, advocates for an improved healthcare system to ensure that children with disabilities have their human rights respected and fulfilled for a quality, dignified and uncomplicated healthcare.

Regrettably, Dr Khouri's clinic will close in July 2024. Due to the limited availability of appointments, we have to give priority to the Liverpool Hospital follow-ups. Dr Khouri will not be able to provide continued care but may be able to give a single consultation if required. We apologise for any inconvenience. Please continue to discuss the current medical issues with your family GP as they are the best to guide you. Thank you for your understanding.
