Family Partnership Program
This program supports women who are first-time mums, and pregnant with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander child, to improve their health and the health of their baby. If you participate in this program you will receive home visits in addition to appointments in your clinic.
The home visits focus on supporting you through your journey into motherhood. They can help you to develop positive health behaviours for you and your child.
The IUIH Family Partnership Program is based at Strathpine and available to women living in the north Brisbane/Caboolture region or who are planning to have their baby at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Redcliffe Hospital or Caboolture Hospital.
