Child & Adolescent Health Centre

Baby / Early Childhood Nurse

We are now offering a baby nurse appointments everyday.

Here to support you, and your loved ones.

This is a nurse appointment, designed for any parents (or carers) that want to come in for a baby or early childhood assessment. You can have a check in and a review for your child, to weigh and measure them and be offered advice as per our nurses training. If the nurses are concerned they can then grab a doctor, book the child in for a GP appointment, or book the child for a newborn appointment /breastfeeding appointment with Dr. Mel.

All of our nurses are completing the “possums” education, Possums Education ™ - Official Site (possumsonline.com), updating their training and knowledge in the “evidence based care of mothers and babies”.
