Got Information About Caring for Your Baby

To ensure parents and carers feel confident to care for their baby they require reliable access to information and be provided with education on tools and techniques on how to care for their child.

The solutions below showcase how some health services are working to improve in this area.

Solutions

The Aboriginal Mothers and Babies Service was designed to enhance the overall health and well being of Aboriginal women and their infants.

The ANFPP supports women pregnant with an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander child to improve their own health and the health of their baby. Under the ANFPP, trained nurses visit families in their own homes to help them grow a stronger family.

The CHAC employs a midwife to focus on young indigenous antenatal and postnatal care, specifically addressing apointment turnout and education in risk taking behaviours.

The Mums and Dads with Koori Bubs clinics have contributed to an increase in access for antenatal and postnatal care for Koori women and also for early childhood assessments.

This project developed a targeted education strategy to disseminate information about the impact of infant shaking and positive and safe strategies to respond to a crying baby.
