Mater Mothers has launched a new early parenting support centre that will provide specialised assessment, support and assistance to new parents after the birth of their baby.
The service provides support to new parents to help address issues including breastfeeding and feeding, sleep and settling, emotional health and wellbeing, infant interactions and adjusting to the role of a parent/caregiver.
The centre provides families with access to a range of clinical and allied health professionals, including doctors, lactation consultants, midwives and child health nurses.
A variety of appointment options are available to families, to ensure the provision of care which meets the specific needs of each family and individual, including: one on one consultations; half and full day stay appointments; group workshops; and online consultations.
The service is free for all Medicare eligible families. A referral is not required to access the centre, which is open from 8 am to 4.30 pm, Monday to Friday.
