INFANT Program

Our Service

The INFANT Program has been developed by Deakin University and is run in partnership with Mildura Rural City Council.

There are four group sessions which run for around 90 minutes and are delivered when infants are 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. This allows the neccessary information to be delivered at the most appropriate time.

The program runs with existing groups and will help improve your knowledge of infant feeding and active play. You will be able to use what you learn to carry on health behaviours through future stages of your childs development.

Service Information

Many parents describe the first two years if their baby’s life to be a challenging time – with so many choices and mixed messages around what is best for the baby.

The INFANT Program can give you the support and knowledge you need to feed and play with your baby with confidence. A trained health professional will support you and provide information and advice.

Who can use this service?

All parents and carers of infants aged 3-12 months of age. You will be placed in a suitable group based on your baby’s age. Anyone who takes close care of your baby is welcome to attend the program. This includes one or both parents, aunties, uncles, grandparents and other caregivers.

Cost

The INFANT Program is free.
