What's in focus
Our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is committed to helping children, young people and families from CALD communities access mental health services.
We’re investing $30.3 million in upgrades to the current Women’s and Children’s Hospital to ensure we continue to provide the best quality care while planning continues for a new hospital.
Visiting a health service can be scary, especially when there’s lots of people covered head to toe in Personal Protective Equipment or PPE.
A free virtual urgent care service for babies to teenagers will connect you with our team of emergency nurses and doctors who can stream into your home and provide medical advice and assessment.
All Children aged 5 and over are now eligible for a COVID-19 Vaccine. Visit one of our Family-friendly clinics today.
WCHN is committed to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal women, children and families. We provide our staff with learning and development opportunities in Aboriginal culture, to help build culturally appropriate, relevant and accessible services.
