Immunisations & Sleep Health

Keeping up with the National Immunisation Program (NIP) schedule is crucial for childcare enrollment (No Jab, No Play). Combine this with good sleep hygiene for a healthy immune system.

  • NIP Schedule Tracking Check your Medicare app or MyGov to ensure your child's vaccination history is up to date for the Child Care Subsidy.
  • Safe Sleep Guidelines (Red Nose) Always follow the Red Nose guidelines: sleep baby on their back, clear the cot of loose toys, and use a safe sleeping bag.

Mental Health for Parents

Parenting is tough, and looking after your own mental health is just as important as looking after your kids. Remember: you can't pour from an empty cup.
