Child Health and Parenting Service to resume

Jeremy Rockliff,Minister for Health

I'm pleased to confirm that Child Health assessments will begin resuming full-service delivery from today, Monday 7 February 2022, as previously advised.

Given the importance of the children's vaccination program, staff working in Child Health and Parenting Service (CHaPS) were temporarily reassigned to assist in this rollout.

With staff now returning, Child Health assessments and other appointments will return to full capacity across the State over the coming months.

The initial focus will be to increase appointments available for families with children due for their six-month Child Health Assessment. Following the return to full service, appointments for twelve-month and two-year assessments will become available and updated communications will be shared.
