About our Early Parenting Centre

The Mitcham Early Parenting Centre was established in 1994 to provide specialised support and care to families experiencing postnatal difficulties in the weeks and months following the arrival of a new baby, up to twelve months of age.

These difficulties may include:

• Feeding difficulties
• Infant sleeping problems
• Unsettled / irritable infants
• Reflux and colic
• Adjusting to parenthood

Situated in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, our unit provides services to families from all areas of Melbourne, Victoria and even interstate. We offer individual support and planning to suit your family over a 5-night residential stay, during which time there is opportunity for education, rest, support and group discussions.

The unit features 6 private suites, all with comfortable double beds and access to a dining and lounge area. Our Early Parenting Centre is also able to provide overnight accommodation for partners (at an additional cost).

Following discharge for up to two weeks, we will provide telephone-based education support.
