The Child and Family Health Service provides free parenting support, advice and health checks (as outlined in the Personal Health Record (blue book)) for
parents of children 0 - 5 years.
Nurses do a newborn assessment at your home during the first week, after that you attend ongoing check-ups at the clinic until your child is school
age.
Nurses provide information and advice on Mums wellbeing, feeding, settling, sleep, growth, development, safety and behaviour.
Clinics also run new parents groups for parents of newborns to 6 months, that provide information and an opportunity to meet other new parents in
your local area.
