Community Child Health

  • The Community Child Health Service can provide specialised support to help a child with support needs develop and grow
  • We believe that family is the constant in a child's life and that families want what's best for their child
  • You will be supported to develop goals which work toward your child and family's hopes and aspirations
  • Where possible, your child will be seen at home, pre-school or in the community
  • If your child has a need for specialised equipment our team can help you apply for funding
  • We take a team approach so one or more team members may be involved with your family
  • We can also provide access to clinical psychology support
  • Interpreting services are available for parents who need this support
  • Speech Language Therapists and Dietitians are part of the Child Development team
