IMPORTANT NOTICE: Our services have changed as a response to COVID-19. All our services are still available but how we deliver them will be different. You will first get a phone call from a health worker who will get as many details as possible. They will then work with you will develop a plan to address your needs. This could include further phone calls, telehealth (video conferencing) or a face to face appointment. Whatever the  plan is, the health worker will explain what to expect and the outcomes of the follow up. We are planning innovative ways for you to receive information and support. Below are the contact details for our Child and Family health services. This is where regular notices and information will be posted. If you have any questions or concerns please contact your local health worker.
