New Parents Group (Eastern Suburbs)

First time parents

At your 1-4 week check your Child and Family Health Nurse will ask if you would like to join a New Parents Group and take your details. If your baby is still in hospital and your 1-4 week check is delayed please call our central intake and we will happily add you to a group. 

The group details will be texted to your mobile number the week before the group begins. The WhatsApp group will be established at the first group meeting. 

Groups will run for one hour per week for 2-3 weeks. These face-to-face sessions are led by one of our Child and Family Health Nurses.

Parents of more than one child

If you have an older child you may ask to be placed in our Second Time Parents Group. We will ask for one of the parents in the group to set up a WhatsApp group so that you may chat and decide on a time to meet up in the community. Unfortunately, we can not facilitate face-to-face sessions.
