Dr Ray Farley

Dr Ray Farley is a specialist Neonatal Paediatrician (specialist “baby doctor”), highly skilled in caring for babies and infants, from newborn babies (premature and term) up to 12 months of age. Dr Ray has extensive experience in newborn care and is a practising private neonatologist. He provides specialist baby and infant follow-up and is particularly interested in baby feeding issues (including tongue tie release), irritable babies, neonatal critical care, neonatal resuscitation, antenatal counselling, newborn and infant nutrition, growth, and development.

Dr Ray graduated from Aberdeen University in Scotland before migrating to Australia with his family. Dr Ray completed his training in Paediatrics, specialising in Neonatal and Perinatal Medicine, at the Mater Mother’s Hospital and Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in Brisbane. He has over ten years of experience as a specialist baby doctor.

Dr Ray’s passion is driven by the relationship he builds with parents and babies, the enjoyment he seeks in keeping your babies healthy, happy and well and from making your experience as parents happy and fulfilling. As a father of twin girls (born prematurely), Ray understands the stress and difficulties associated with looking after newborn babies and young infants. His relaxed, laid-back approach makes him very popular with his patients (and their parents!)

Otherwise, Ray enjoys spending time with his now teenage twin daughters, playing snooker (State Snooker Champion), or teaching students, midwives, nurses and doctors the skills to provide life-saving care for babies and infants.
