Service Information

The team at the Family & Child Hub is here to partner with you, offering support to help you build skills, grow your confidence, and find more joy in parenting. We have experience working with families from pregnancy and early parenthood all the way through to the pre-teen years. Whether you’re looking for information, guidance or a listening ear, we’re here to help with any aspect of parenting.

We’re here to support families in understanding and responding to infant and child behaviours, providing feeding support, helping with unsettled babies and offering practical strategies for challenges like fussy eating, toilet training and tantrums. 

 We can also assist in connecting you with other services to support your child’s development.

What to expect

An initial appointment lasts about an hour to begin learning about you, your current life situation and general health and your current mental health concerns and how they are impacting on you. Often further appointments are arranged to learn more about your history and your family to make a thorough assessment and a plan about how best to help.  Treatment may be limited to assessment and recommendations or ongoing for a period and your GP will be an important participant in your care.

Who can use this service?

This service is available for parents and carers where the adult has been identified as having mental health difficulties and they are referred by their local GP. People requiring urgent assistance please contact Mildura Base Public Hospital Mental Health Triage, phone 5022 3500.

Cost

In line with SCHS policy, fees are determined at intake based on family income. Your income will be assessed before you consent to our service. Some fee exemptions apply.
