Our Enhanced Maternal and Child Health (EMCH) service provides additional Maternal and Child Health (MCH) support to those in the City of Greater Geelong.
Enhanced Maternal and Child Health Service
This service is free and available to families who consent to referral.
The service is available Monday to Friday during business hours.
The goal of the Enhanced Maternal and Child Health Service is to best support you to transitioning to the Universal MCH service, at your local MCH centre.
What you can expect from the EMCH service
The EMCH service is focussed on achieving improved outcomes for infants, children and their parents who are experiencing a period of increased need, and who could benefit from additional support.
Additional support can be provided by our Early Parenting Educator as needed. We aim to provide a service that is culturally sensitive and inclusive and strives to promote cultural connections within the community.
