Ku-ring-gai Neighbourhood Centre

Early Childhood Health Centre

Child & Family Health Services are provided in the Ku-ring-gai area by the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital & Community Health Services. Services at St Ives are co-located with the Ku-ring-gai Neighbourhood Centre (KNC); they are also available at Lindfield.

Louella and the rest of the ECHC team at St Ives provide free support and information on any parenting issue until 5 years of age, including:

  • infant feeding
  • sleep and settling
  • growth and development
  • immunisation
  • behaviour management
  • post-natal depression
  • domestic violence

The ECHC also has group programmes and information sessions, such as support groups for new parents, toddler issues, age-specific information, and treatment groups for families experiencing post-natal depression (PND).

Other services include home visiting, as well as information and referral to other services.

All visits are by appointment and it is recommended that you contact your nearest Early Childhood Centre to make your first appointment. Interpreters can be arranged, if needed.

Each child is provided a Personal Health Record ("blue book"), which you should bring to all subsequent appointments.
