Your EMCH Nurse or our Early Parenting Educator will visit you, at a time and date that suits both the family and staff. You will receive an SMS reminder prior to the given appointment.
This service is free and available to families who consent to referral.
The service is available Monday to Friday during business hours.
During your involvement in the EMCH program your nurse may feel that you would be best supported by transitioning to the Universal MCH service, attending your local MCH centre.
What you can expect from the EMCH service
The EMCH service is focussed on achieving improved outcomes for infants, children and their parents who are experiencing a period
of increased need, and who could benefit from additional support.
Additional support can be provided by our Early Parenting Educator as needed. We aim to provide a service that is culturally sensitive
and inclusive and strives to promote cultural connections within the
community.
