Welcome to

The WA Country Health Service (WACHS) believes that every child and adolescent should be given the best start in life and the opportunity to grow up being healthy, confident and resilient.  The Healthy Country Kids team in the South West is here to offer families care, education and support during their journey to raise a happy and healthy child from the early years to adulthood.

We bring together a variety of specialist community-based health care services and programs to optimise health outcomes for children, young people and their families. Our team includes child and school health nurses, child development allied health professionals, paediatricians, administration and health promotion staff. We offer comprehensive assessments, early interventions and therapy services and utilise the family partnership model to empower parents and carers.

We offer place based care, at no cost to families, in various settings across local south west communities including community health centres, clinics, schools, home visits and telehealth appointments and child care centres.
