Maternal & Child Health Centres

Welcome to the Maternal & Child Health Centres in Benalla, Australia! Located at 45 Coster Street, our establishment is a health point of interest dedicated to providing exceptional support, advice, and information to parents about child and family health.

At our centre, we understand the importance of reliable and trustworthy information for parents. That's why our services are jointly funded by the Victorian State Government and Benalla Rural City Council, ensuring that you receive the highest quality care and guidance.

Our customer service counter at the Benalla Rural City Council is now open between 9am and 4pm, making it convenient for you to access the assistance you need. Whether you have questions, need advice, or want to schedule an appointment, our friendly staff is here to help.

Speaking of appointments, we offer appointments from Monday to Friday at the Benalla Community Care Centre. To book an appointment or gather more information, simply give us a call at 03 5761 4500. Our dedicated team is ready to assist you.

We also offer various group programs to cater to your specific needs. Our First Time Parents Group is open to all first-time parents and runs once a week over eight weeks. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn, ask questions, exchange ideas, and meet other new parents who are going through similar experiences.

For dads, we have a special First Time Parents Group facilitated by Daniel King, a social worker, Julia Lamb, a nurse/paramedic, and one of our maternal and child health nurses. This group covers a range of topics over five weeks, including important subjects like CPR and Childhood Illnesses. Sessions typically run from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, with the exception of the CPR and Childhood Illnesses session, which extends until 8pm.

We understand the value of online information, but we also recognize the challenges of finding reliable sources. Rest assured, our Maternal & Child Health Centre is a trusted and reputable resource, ensuring that you receive accurate and up-to-date information.

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the land on which we operate. We honor their Elders, both past and present, and appreciate the opportunity to serve the community in this beautiful part of Australia.
