Hazel Glen Maternal & Child Health Centre 65 Eminence Boulevard, Doreen, Victoria 3754

Welcome to Hazel Glen Maternal & Child Health Centre, located at 65 Eminence Boulevard in Doreen, Australia. Our establishment is dedicated to providing high-quality health services for families with children from newborn to school age in the City of Whittlesea.

At our center, you can expect free and confidential care from our team of Registered Nurses, who have additional qualifications in Midwifery and Maternal and Child Health. We are committed to improving the health, wellbeing, and safety of families, as well as the learning and development of children.

It's important to note that Maternal and Child Health services across Victoria are currently facing a shortage of qualified nurses, which may limit the range of consultations available. However, we are proud to offer MCH services for infants from birth up to 12 months of age, as well as for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants, children, and families, and children and families with additional needs.

During this time, we also provide additional support through our Drop-In service and the MCH Line 132 229. Whether you need to make a key ages and stages appointment or change an existing one, our dedicated team is here to assist you. If your appointment is within the next two working days, please call us directly at 9404 8888 between 9am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.

We understand the importance of breastfeeding and feeding your baby, which is why we offer the opportunity to chat with our Maternal and Child Health Nurses or Lactation Consultants. These sessions are available in between your child's Key Ages and Stage assessments.

For first-time parents, we have specialized groups and programs, such as our First Time Parent Groups and Sleep and Settling programs. These are facilitated by professionals who are committed to assisting parents in their journey.

Additionally, our Enhanced Maternal and Child Health (EMCH) Service is an outreach program that provides additional support to families with children from birth to preschool age. This service is designed to help families facing challenges that impact parenting, relationships, and overall well-being.

We are proud to have a strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander engagement, which includes the Deadly Boorais and Deadly Families Program. This program actively engages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and supports their involvement in our Maternal and Child Health service. As part of this program, we offer the Yarning Circle and Drop-In Session, providing further opportunities for connection and engagement within the City of Whittlesea.

For additional information and resources, you can access the Maternal and Child Health 24-hour health line on 13 22 29. We also have a Maternal and Child Health app that provides reliable information for everyday use, which can be downloaded by clicking the provided link.
