Maternal & Child Health Framework

Council’s Maternal and Child Health service provides 10 free health and developmental checks for your child from birth to kindergarten age.

Our highly qualified and experienced nurses will help you identify ways to support your child’s health, growth and development from the ages of 0 to 4 years. 

Different topics are discussed and assessments undertaken at each scheduled Key Age & Stage visit to monitor your child’s growth and development. 

Share your parenting experiences with a qualified professional who understands the journey every parent takes, and the ups and downs of raising young children.Find out about other support services for you and your child and how you can make connections with other parents in your community.
