HEART OF COMMUNITY

“Strong Mums, Strong Bubs”

Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program (ANFPP).

The ANFPP is voluntary nurse home visiting program that supports first-time mothers pregnant with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander baby to improve their own life outcomes and those of their baby.

It aims to improve pregnancy outcomes, child health & development and parental life course.

The program is underpinned by 5 Client Centred Principles

 

• Follow your heart’s desire

We are here to support mums, bubs and families to get the best possible start in life’s journey together, with a focus on:

​

Your Health, Your Life, Yourself and your child, Your Home, Your Family & Friends and Health and Human Services.
