About the Business
Welcome to Jindi Maternal & Child Health Centre, located at 48 Breadalbane Avenue, Mernda, Australia. As an establishment focused on health, we are a vital point of interest for families in the City of Whittlesea. Our mission is to provide free and confidential Maternal and Child Health (MCH) services to families with children from newborn to school age.
At Jindi Maternal & Child Health Centre, our dedicated staff consists of Registered Nurses who have additional qualifications in Midwifery and Maternal and Child Health. With their expertise, we offer ongoing care that aims to improve the health, wellbeing, and safety of families, as well as the learning and development of children.
We understand that Maternal and Child Health services across Victoria are currently facing a shortage of qualified nurses, which may affect the range of consultations available. However, we are proud to offer MCH services for infants from birth up to 12 months of age, all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants, children, and families, and all children and families with additional needs.
During this time, we also provide additional support through our Drop-In service and the MCH Line at 132 229. Our team is here to assist you in any way possible.
To make an appointment or change an existing one, please request an MCH appointment. If your enquiry is urgent and relates to an appointment within the next two working days, please call our team directly at 9404 8888 between 9am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.
We also offer the opportunity to chat with a Maternal and Child Health Nurse or Lactation Consultant about breastfeeding or any other feeding issues you may have. These sessions are available in between your child's Key Ages and Stage assessments.
For first-time parents, we provide support through our First Time Parent Groups and Sleep and Settling programs, which are facilitated by professionals to assist you in your parenting journey.
Our Enhanced Maternal and Child Health (EMCH) Service is an outreach program that offers additional support to families with children from birth to preschool age who may be facing challenges impacting parenting, relationships, and well-being.
We are proud to have specific engagement programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, such as the Deadly Boorais and Deadly Families Program. These programs actively engage families and their children, providing support and connection within our Maternal and Child Health service.
As part of the Deadly Boorais Deadly Families program, we offer the Yarning Circle and Drop-In Session, which provide additional opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to connect and engage with our services.
For further information and resources, you can access the Maternal and Child Health 24-hour health line at 13 22 29. Additionally, we have a Maternal and Child Health app that provides reliable information for everyday use and can be downloaded by clicking the provided link.
