Background  Pediatric obesity is a serious, but clinically neglected, chronic health problem. Despite the high prevalence, excess weight problems are rarely managed when children attend clinical services. It is recommended that obesity treatment uses a “chronic-care” approach to management, with different types and intensity of treatment dependent upon severity of obesity. There are several new secondary and tertiary weight management services being implemented within New South Wales (NSW), Australia in 2017/2018 with differing models of care. This study will ascertain what factors affect acceptability, reach, and participation, as well as measure the clinical effectiveness of these services.    Methods  This is a acceptability and effectiveness study building upon existing and planned secondary and tertiary level service delivery in several health districts. This study will recruit participants from seven different pediatric weight management services (PWMS) across five Local Health Districts in NSW, Australia. Using a mixed-methods approach we will document a range of process, impact and clinical outcome measures in order to better understand the context and the effectiveness of each PWMS model. The project development and implementation is guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework. Participants will include parents of children less than 18 years of age attending PWMS, clinicians working as part of PWMS and health service managers. Data will be captured using a combination of anthropometric measures, questionnaires, one-on-one semi-structured interviews and focus groups.    Discussion  Results from this study will assess the acceptability and effectiveness of different models of care for pediatric weight management. Such information is required to inform long-term sustainability and scalability of secondary and tertiary care services to the large number of families with children above a healthy weight.
