Children's program
Wanju!
We invite children to attend the Children’s Program activities without their parents, however, should a grown up wish to join the group they are more than welcome. The age groups allocated to activities are a guide. Should you wish to discuss your, or your child's, participation in a particular activity please email Jen Maughan, Familysupport@ruralhw.com.au
All children's activities are supervised by Rural Health West staff who all hold current Working with Children Check (WWC Check).
Should your family require childcare for events surrounding the conference including pre and post conference workshops, breakfast meetings, early conference sessions please contact Dial an Angel on 08 9364 5488 to book and pay directly. Rural Health West uses this childcare agency for all Perth-based children's programs.

Rural Health West offers travel support to one immediate family member (adult or child) for each full Aboriginal Health Conference delegate. Approval must be sought from Rural Health West prior to booking children's flights with Corporate Traveller. Before booking, please see the full travel support terms and conditions on the travel tab.
