 Kingston's FREE maternal and child health service is staffed by registered MCH nurses who support parents with children from 0 to 6 years.
 Nurses assess the health and development of babies and young children and provide information, advice and referral as needed.
 Parents may attend any centre and new families are always welcome.
 New parent groups are available at each MCH centre to help 1st time parents.
 Advice is available on issues such as parenting, home and car safety for children, child accident and injury prevention, nutrition, family planning, referral to local support services and immunisation.
