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. All children's activities are supervised by Rural Health West staff who all hold current Working with Children Check (WWC Check).
The age groups allocated to activities are a guide. If you wish to discuss your child's participation in a particular activity, please contact the Events team events@ruralhw.com.au or telephone 08 6389 4500.
