Parents’ turn to speak their mind

Wyndham parents are being encouraged to have their say on a national approach to family and child services. A study by Western Sydney University is seeking the views of parents, GPs and other medical specialists about the possible creation of universal child and family health services. Cr Marie Brittan said that with 3556 babies born in the municipality last year, the results of the study would be particularly important to Wyndham.
