Maternal and Child Health welcome booking request portal

Published on 04 December 2023

Campaspe Shire Council’s Maternal and Child Health service is introducing an online booking request portal for families across the shire.

The online request booking portal is part of the Maternal and Child Health service evolving and becoming more accessible for the community. Feedback received from the frequent users highlighted the need for more booking options and making the service more efficient for parents.

Campaspe Shire Council Director Communities, Jo Bradshaw said the new booking request system will make it more convenient for parents and families to request appointments with the Maternal and Child Health service.

“Being a parent is busy and we’re working to make it easier for families in the region to access the Maternal and Child Health service.

“Parents will be able to request an appointment time via the online booking request portal. One of our team will call to confirm the appointment time, based on the current availabilities in the booking system.

“Parents can still call the 1300 644 964 number to book an appointment by phone, but we know parenting isn’t restricted to 9 to 5, so the online request opens up more options. We’re here to help make sure parents and families get the care they need through their parenting journey,” Ms Bradshaw added.  

Parents wishing to cancel their appointment will need to ring the service to process the cancellation. All Maternal and Child Health appointments are booked Monday-Friday during business hours.
