Maternal and Child Health Service

Council provides a range of free maternal and child health (MCH) services to our community. Our services focus on the early development of your child to ensure your baby gets the best start in life.

Our dedicated team of Maternal and Child Health nurses, midwives and parent educators are specialists in child health and development.

How are appointments made

A Maternal and Child Health team member will call you directly once you are discharged from hospital to arrange a visit to your home.

At the home visit, we will schedule times with you to visit one of our Maternal and Child Health Centres at the following stages in your baby’s development:

  • Two weeks
  • Four weeks
  • Eight weeks 
  • Four months
  • Eight months 
  • Twelve months
  • Eighteen months
  • Two years
  • Three and a half years

Appointments outside these assessment ages are not generally necessary, unless there is a particular need or developmental concern.
