Child Health Services
In response to the changing nature of COVID-19, we are suspending all library programs and events from Thursday 19 March until Sunday 19 April inclusive. Until further notice, the Child Health Nurse will not be available.
Child Health Services and Libraries have partnered to support parents and caregivers as their child’s first teacher. Discuss your child’s health and development with a qualified nurse and find out how to make reading, talking and playing together part of your everyday routine.
Note: Child Health Services are dependent on Child Health Nurse availability and may be subject to change, please confirm availability with the library.
