Keeping track of your child's health and development
info
Talk to your health practitioner if you do not speak English as a first language or you're deaf. They can organise for a free, confidential and professional interpreter when you need to use a public health service.
Keeping up to date on your child's routine health checks and tests can help you:
- monitor their growth and development
- detect any health or development issues early
- get treatment and access to support services as soon as possible
Throughout your child’s early years, it’s important to:
- attend regular health checks, even if your child seems well
- be aware of key development milestones and how to support your child’s development
- keep up to date with vaccinations
- encourage healthy lifestyle and dental habits
- be aware of the Out of Home Care Health Pathway program if you care for a child in out of home care
