We are currently reviewing our Maternal & Child Health appointment scheduling process to support high service demands and promote greater access to the service for families.
All appointment requests must be made to Child & Family Support on 1300 370 567. At this time, appointments cannot be made by Maternal & Child Health nurses or community centres.
Due to high service demands, appointments can be impacted by nurse availability, time-sensitive cases, or other factors. Wyndham City will endeavour to work with you to book an appointment at the next available time.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve access and service delivery for all families.
