Mercy Health O'Connell Family Centre, Canterbury, VIC

Mercy Health O'Connell Family Centre is one of three early parenting centres in Victoria. We run residential, day and community programs working with families with children from birth to four years of age. We are a publicly funded facility. Your child's early years are important in their development. We understand it can be hard work and tiring. However, this can also be one of your most rewarding times as a parent. We want to help you learn more about being a parent and how you can help your child develop.
We offer the following services for families:
Day Stay Program
Residential Program
Parenting Education Workshops
Playsteps Program
Families are referred to the centre by health professionals or community providers. Partners are encouraged to attend the programs. There is a wait list for all of our services.
Our clinical team consists of maternal and child health nurses, nurses, midwives, enrolled nurses, early childhood workers, a psychiatrist and a psychologist.
