About Monash Health in the Community

Helping people live their best lives.

As Monash Health in the Community, we actively engage with clients across the age spectrum to improve and maintain health, independence and well-being.  We do this by coordinating and/or providing integrated, multidisciplinary care across multiple settings within the local community. Our aim is to help clients live their best lives by enabling them to access the support they need, when they need it.

Infant, Child and Family Health and?Wellbeing Hub 

As one of the key recommendations from the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System and the National Children’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy, Monash Health was identified as one of three lead providers to roll out this initiative to support infants, children and families in the South Eastern region of Victoria.  Designed as one central location for mental health, health and wellbeing support for infants, children and families we provide support to individuals from 0-11 years experiencing developmental, behavioural and emotional challenges through expertise from a range of specialist medical and allied health services, including paediatricians, occupational therapists, psychologists and speech pathologists and offer parenting supports.  The Infant, Child and Family Health and Wellbeing Hub will sit alongside ELHMS - Monash Childrens and the Child and Family Program - Monash Health Community.

A Day in the Life:

You will work with children aged up to and including 11 years and their families, experiencing one or more of the following: developmental, emotional, relational or behavioural challenges, to support healthy child development and supportive family relationships and environments.

The second phase will run in parallel to phase one and will consist of a new codesigned model of care for the ongoing service delivery of the Hub.
