Jess Costa-Pinto is a General Paediatrician at Box Hill Hospital in Melbourne and an early career researcher. Through her PhD, centred around the ARROW Trial, Jess is aiming to reduce hospital admissions with preschool wheeze. ARROW is the first trial to be led by CIRCAN (Children’s Inpatient Research Collaboration of Australia and New Zealand), with over 40 sites participating across Australia and New Zealand.

A mum of two busy kids, she is particularly passionate about improving the hospital experience for her patients and loves a good side project (most recently new mural artwork for the walls of the paediatric ward).
