About
Caring for Families, Backed by Experience
LiceDoctors has spent over two decades helping Australian families navigate head lice with calm, clarity, and confidence. Our method combines:
- An essential oil-based treatment and gentle hair & scalp range designed to support the full lice cycle
- Education for parents so they can apply products correctly and prevent the cycle from returning
Our mission is to make head lice care easier, clearer, and far less stressful for every household.
Meet Janine
Founder Janine Heard has been a hairdresser since 1985 and started LiceDoctors on the Sunshine Coast in 2004 after seeing how many parents were overwhelmed by recurring head lice.
Her goal was simple: "to give families a reliable, supportive way to care for head lice without confusion or stress."
Today, LiceDoctors is a trusted name in family head lice care across Australia, offering an essential oil-based treatment, a gentle follow-up range, in-salon and mobile services, and ongoing education that empowers parents with confidence.
Educational Service
LiceDoctors provides parents with practical education during and after treatment so they understand the head lice life cycle and how to prevent it from returning.
We teach simple, effective techniques - including how to check the hair correctly - to help stop re-infestation. Lice can transfer easily between family members or classmates, so knowing what to look for is essential.
Our specialists also explain the common myths about lice and clarify what actually needs to be cleaned in the home.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Taking Our Education Further
Janine Heard and the LiceDoctors team recently travelled to the Tiwi Islands as part of the Happy Hair Program, providing head lice treatment, haircare and education to more than 200 children and community members.
Education was a key part of the visit, helping community members and local staff continue effective head lice care after the LiceDoctors team had left.
