Our first-time parent groups meet in person at our maternal and child health (MCH) centres, Bunjil Place, and the Hampton Park Library. Both parents are welcome to attend.
Come along to meet other parents and receive valuable support, education, and information for you and your child.
To join a group, speak with your MCH nurse or call the central booking number 9705 5590.
What to expect from the program
The topics covered in the group meetings include:
- adjusting to life as a parent and getting to know your baby
- introducing your baby to solid food
- sleep and settling, and keeping your baby safe
- development and play, and many other useful topics.
When to start attending the group
We recommend parents start attending these groups when their baby is between 6 weeks and 4 months of age.
We also offer these groups in Dari and Hazaragi, facilitated by Dari-speaking facilitators, as well as groups for families with twins/triplets.
