Seaford Maternal and Child Health

Welcome to Seaford Maternal and Child Health, located at 41 Railway Parade in Seaford, Australia. We are an establishment dedicated to providing health and hospital services for mothers and children. As part of the Frankston Maternal and Child Health (MCH) service, we are currently transitioning back to normal operations after the temporary prioritization of services across metropolitan Melbourne due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During this challenging time, our healthcare workforce has been impacted, with staff furloughs occurring due to positive cases or isolation requirements. As a result, there may be periods where we are unable to deliver the full range of services and consultations. However, we will always prioritize the care of our patients during these times.

We understand the importance of providing support to parents with infants and young children, and we have a range of alternative supports available. More information can be found in the provided PDF document titled "Information for parents with infants and young children." Additionally, all clients will be screened for COVID-19 in accordance with government requirements to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

At Frankston City's Maternal and Child Health Service, our qualified practitioners are dedicated to promoting the health and wellbeing of children from birth to 6 years of age. We provide screening, advice, and support on your child's growth, development, and overall health needs. Our services are available at specific intervals, such as 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 12 months, and 18 months. To book an appointment, please contact our central booking line at 9784 1756, available Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm.

If Seaford Maternal and Child Health is not your closest center, we are happy to assist you in arranging a visit to a different MCH Centre. Simply call our central booking line, and we will help you make the necessary arrangements.

Please be aware that disposable nappies are not permitted to be disposed of at our center, as per council policy. We kindly request that you make alternative arrangements for their disposal.

We understand that finding reliable information between MCH visits can be challenging for families. That's why we recommend the Victorian Government's MCH App, a free and personalized digital tool that combines trustworthy information and time-saving features. This app is available for all Apple and Android smartphones and can be downloaded from your App Store or visited on the website provided.

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners of the land, the Bunurong people. They have been the custodians of this land and an integral part of the history of this region. We also extend our respect to all Aboriginal community Elders, past and present, who have resided in the area.

Thank you for choosing Seaford Maternal and Child Health. We are here to support you and your child's health and wellbeing every step of the way.
