Child Health Nurses

Child Health Centres are located in Victoria Park and Lathlain. Child Health Centres are staffed by registered nurses and offer a range of services for parents with babies and young children. More information and contact details can be found on the Healthy WA website. 

Playgroups

Playgroups provide a great way for children to interact with other children in play-based activities, whilst also giving parents and caregivers the opportunity to connect and meet other parents and caregivers. There are a number of community-run playgroups in Victoria Park and Lathlain which offer sessions at different times throughout the week. More information and contact details can be found on the Playgroup WA website.
