Universal Maternal and Child Health Program.

The Maternal and Child Health Service works in partnership with Victorian families to care for babies and children until they start school.

It is a free service which includes visits to a local maternal and child health nurse at 10 key ages and stages in your child’s development. Additional visits are offered as well as first time parenting groups, and links to local community activities and support services.

Maternal and child health nurses can offer sleep and settling support during the ten key age and stage visits and additional consultations as required.

Outreach Sleep and Settling Program

The Outreach Sleep and Settling Program is available for families who need more intensive sleep and settling support.

This free service can be accessed through the City of Melbourne Maternal and Child Health service.

Please contact your Maternal and Child Health Nurse for additional support and for referral to the Outreach Sleep and Settling Program.
