Big help for little lungs.

Meet Dr. David Hancock

Paediatric Respiratory Physician (aka Children’s Lung Doctor).

Dr. David Hancock will be consulting from Kinkaya! He is on a mission to help little lungs work their best so kids can get back to the important stuff (like chasing dragons and winning chasey).

Before your visit, here's the intel on your lung doctor.

Dr David Hancock is happy to accept referrals on any respiratory issue, including but not limited to:

Viral induced wheeze
Asthma
Chronic cough
Chronic wet cough
Recurrent infections
PBB

He will provide timely specialist assessment and management of childhood respiratory conditions, supporting urgent care needs and complementing ongoing GP care. There is currently no waitlist and Kinkaya is taking bookings now.

Dr Hancock is Head of the Advancing Innovation in Respiratory (AIR) Health team at The Kids Research Institute Australia and a Paediatric Respiratory Physician at Perth Children’s Hospital.

Dr Hancock is a lead investigator on major WA respiratory cohorts (MAVRIC, RHINO, AERIAL, BANK CF) and is Clinical Lead of the Respiratory Clinical Trials Group at The Kids Research Institute Australia with investigator experience across 23 Phase I–IV respiratory trials.

Dream job

When he was five, he wanted to be an astronaut, but today he loves that his job allows him to be silly, have fun, and tell jokes (as well as help kids feel better).

Favourite things

He grew up watching Captain Planet and The Simpsons. His favourite book is Room on the Broom, and he loves the first Harry Potter movie.

Creature comforts

He recently got a giant Maine Coon cat named Clompers... But if he could have any pet, it would obviously be a dragon he could fly on.

Karaoke star

If you hear someone singing "Africa" by Toto, it’s probably David (even if he admits he can’t quite hit the notes).

Asthma, chronic coughs, or wheezing?

No matter if it’s asthma, viral-induced wheeze, chronic cough, recurrent infections, bronchiolitis…anything that might have your kid struggling to keep up in the playground - Dr David Hancock is here to help.

Pre-visit parent tip from Dr. Hancock.

"Nerves usually come from the unknown. Talk through the details of your visit with your child, from the car ride to the doctor’s room, so they know exactly what to expect".
