Children's Program
Rural Health West invites children to attend activities without their parents, allowing mum or dad the opportunity to register for the Partner Program or enjoy some child-free time. Should a parent wish to join the group however, they are more than welcome. All children’s activities are supervised by Rural Health West or agency child care staff who hold current working with children cards.
The age groups allocated to activities below are a guide. Should you wish to discuss your child’s participation in a particular activity please contact Jen Maughan, Family Program Coordinator via email familysupport@ruralhealthwest.com.au
