New home for Maternal and Child Health Service at Yawa

Published on 13 December 2024

From 16 December, our Tootgarook and Seawinds Maternal and Child Health Service will move to Yawa Aquatic Centre.  

Our Maternal and Child Health service has long been a cornerstone for local parents and carers, and our dedicated team of nurses are looking forward to welcoming their clients in a modern and purpose-built facility.  

The new location offers more than just an upgrade in aesthetics—it's a hub of activity designed with families in mind. Parents/carers can now combine their child's health check-ups with a trip to the pool with their little ones, or a coffee at Elements Eatery.    

Our nurses, known for their compassionate and expert care, will continue to provide invaluable guidance and support to families, from newborn check-ups until the child is school age.   

Clients with future appointments at Tootgarook and Seawinds have been notified of the move. To speak with a Maternal and Child Health Nurse or to book an appointment please contact us on 5950 1099.

“This move helps to conveniently co-locate our much-loved Maternal and Child Health Service at our family-friendly and modern Yawa Aquatic Centre.” 

Quote attributable to Tootgarook Councillor Cam Williams: 

"The Maternal and Child Health service is integral to supporting parents/carers and young children. It is a free service for families with children from birth to school age, where our nurses provide support for families with child health, wellbeing and developmental checks and parenting support and advice.”
