About the service

The Maternal and Child Health Service provides a schedule of contacts and activities for all families, with an emphasis on prevention, promotion, early detection and intervention for health and wellbeing. It also provides a universal platform that can:

• Help to identify children and families who require further assessment, intervention, referral and/or support
• Bring families together, foster social networks, support playgroups and strengthen local community connections
• Deliver other service and supports, such as family support services, immunisation and volunteer programs
