Our Peer Navigation team can provide:
- Ward visits to check how things are going, provide a listening ear together with information and resources to help you navigate the system
- Free care packs of toiletries for families who are emergency admissions or unable to leave their child’s bedside
- Warmth and understanding in the Kalparrin Lounge where you’ll find comfortable seating, nursing and change facilities, kitchenette with free tea and coffee, children’s toys and books
- Next Steps session, with connection to the services and supports your family needs
- Free massage or reflexology session with a qualified, remedial massage therapist, (subject to COVID-19 restrictions)
