The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) service is a free health service for all families in the City of Monash. Families typically attend 10 free check-ins with qualified MCH nurses at key stages of your child's development.
Each visit will cover topics such as feeding, sleep, child and family health, safety, postnatal wellbeing, growth and more. Your MCH nurse can also link you with parenting groups and other Council services to support you and your family.
