Dr Natasha Ching

I am a General Paediatrician and Paediatric Infectious Diseases Physician who aims to provide compassionate, comprehensive care for children and families.

After graduating with honours in both Medicine (MBBS) and Biomedical Science (BMedSc) from Monash University, I completed my paediatric training through Monash Children’s Hospital and The Royal Children’s Hospital, gaining extensive experience across both metropolitan and regional settings. Throughout my career, I have also supervised and mentored medical trainees, and previously served as Chief Resident Medical Officer at Monash Children’s Hospital.

I obtained fellowship with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in both General Paediatrics and Paediatric Infectious Diseases. My particular areas of interest include behavioural and developmental paediatrics, supporting families navigating behavioural challenges, and working with neurodivergent children and adolescents, including giftedness, autism, and ADHD.

I approach all children and families through the lens of the parent-child connection, with a strong focus on understanding behaviour, emotional safety, and supporting positive mental health and wellbeing for both child and parent.

I am especially passionate about supporting twice-exceptional (2E) children and adolescents: those who are both gifted and also have autism and/or ADHD.

As a mother of three, I bring both professional expertise and personal experience to my work, with the aim of providing thoughtful, individualised care that empowers families and nurtures each child’s potential.
