Maternal & Child Health Centres

Welcome to the Maternal & Child Health Centres in Australia! Located at Murray Street, Kerang, our establishment is dedicated to providing comprehensive health services for families with children from birth to school entry age.

As an institution supported by the council, we are committed to assisting the community in their recovery from the recent floods that occurred between October and December 2022. For the latest updates and information, please click on the provided link.

Our Maternal and Child Health Service is completely free and available to all families. We aim to offer support, information, health promotion, and early identification and intervention to ensure the well-being of young children and their families.

To address any concerns or queries you may have, we provide 10 free Key Ages and Stages consultations. During these sessions, you will have the opportunity to discuss your parenting experiences, your child's health, growth, and development, and any other concerns you may have.

We also offer additional visits for families with special needs, such as premature babies, twins, or challenging situations. Our dedicated team is here to provide the necessary support and guidance to ensure the best outcomes for you and your child.

To monitor your child's health and development, we maintain a Child Health Record Book where we record essential information. At specific stages, we conduct more detailed assessments, including those related to hearing and vision, to ensure early detection and intervention if necessary.

In addition to our Kerang location, we also operate Maternal and Child Health centres in Cohuna and Koondrook. These centres offer a range of classes and programs specifically designed for families with new babies. With a duration of six weeks, these classes feature guest speakers and provide a great opportunity for new parents to learn and connect with others.

At the Maternal & Child Health Centres, we are dedicated to supporting families and promoting the health and well-being of young children. Visit us today and let us be a part of your parenting journey.
