Maternal and child health

Our Maternal and Child Health (MCH) service is free and offers inclusive, community-based support to families and carers with children from birth to school age.

Our nurses are qualified in general nursing, midwifery and child and community nursing. They will support your health and wellbeing through your parenting journey and 10 key stages of your child’s development.

They can link you with first time parenting groups, local community activities and can offer additional visits and services when extra support is needed.

24-hour support with an MCH nurse is available on the Victorian Maternal and Child Health Line 132 229.
