Programs—Integrated perinatal and infant care program

The NSW Integrated Perinatal and infant Care Program uses an internationally innovative model of assessment, prevention and early intervention to identify the mental health and physical health needs of parents and their infants during pregnancy and after birth.

This is then linked to providing appropriate care and support to mothers, families and infants at risk of adverse physical and mental health outcomes. Several Area Health Services are implementing this initiative with much of the early developmental work provided by South Western Sydney AHS and Royal Hospital for Women.
