The Role
The new EPC is a dedicated facility to support mothers, fathers, parents, carers, families and their children up to four years of age.

High quality and safe EPC service delivery is best achieved through a workforce built on a robust nursing leadership team, including Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Nurses, that provides leadership and clinical oversight and support for the multidisciplinary clinical team.
The combined health and community services model is a strength of EPC service delivery, with a multidisciplinary team-based approach enabling the different disciplines to provide the right support and care to each family and child visiting an EPC.
