Child Wellbeing Area Coordinators
Each Local Health District has a Child Wellbeing Area Coordinator to support health staff with their responsibilities in relation to the safety, welfare or wellbeing of children and young people. Health Child Wellbeing Area Coordinators:
- provide advice on mandatory reporter responsibilities and the Health CWUs
- coordinate improved responses to children and young people where concerns are raised by mandatory reporters via the CWU
- assess and facilitate the referral pathways to appropriate services for children, young people and families in the Local Health Districts
- provide advice to other government departments, about Local Health Districts referral pathways and information exchange
Child Wellbeing Area Coordinators also provide information on resources such as the details of Information Exchange Consultants in Local Health Districts, Justice Health and the NSW Ambulance Service.
