Parents

Childhood illness can be surrounded by fear and uncertainty. A child's well-being will improve if the family feel confident and relaxed about the illness.

Information that is easy to understand will help family and friends cope with this often difficult situation. They will be able to reassure and inform the child. This is all part and parcel of the healing process.

Parents, general practitioners, community health workers, early childhood nurses and child carers are all encouraged to use the information provided on the parent's section of this site. We are committed to providing information that all members of the community are able to understand.

Healthelink

We are also participating in a pilot of an Electronic Health Record system, called Healthelink. For eligible children (determined by age and postcode) parents may get access to summary medical information from their GP, hospital or community health care visits. Please see the Healthelink website for more details.
