Professor Philip Hazell is a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist. In short, Phil was born in the UK, moved to New Zealand as a youngster and came to the Territory via the Sydney Medical School.
The more detailed version is that Philip was born in Erith, England, but his family moved to New Zealand when he was a child. At the tender age of 17 he set off to undertake his undergraduate medical training at the University of Otago, completing his medical degree (MB ChB) in 1980 and training in general psychiatry and child psychiatry in Adelaide, South Australia from 1983 to 1989. From 1989 to 1998 Philip was Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Psychiatry with the University of Newcastle. Then, until 2006, he was Clinical Director of the Child and Youth Mental Health Service, Hunter New England Mental Health Service. Much of Philip’s research has focused on common mental health problems in children and adolescents such as ADHD, depression and self-harm. He is editor of a recently published textbook about longer term psychiatric inpatient care for adolescents.
Philip is Conjoint Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry with the Sydney Medical School and a Clinical Professor with Charles Darwin University. He was until recently Director of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the Sydney Local Health District and Director of the Rivendell Child, Adolescent and Family Mental Health Service. He now works with Top End Mental Health Services.
