New QEC Early Parenting Centre Coming to the Peninsula

QEC’s New Early Parenting Centre: A Vital Resource for Peninsula Families

New parents across the Mornington Peninsula will soon have better access to early parenting support in a state-of-the-art facility, with construction starting on a new QEC Early Parenting Centre (EPC).

Located at 185 High Street, this state-of-the-art centre will offer vital support to families, helping to improve the health, wellbeing, and developmental outcomes for children, particularly during the crucial early years.

The centre, which will feature 10 residential family units and four day-stay units, is designed with families in mind. It aims to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where parents and carers can access the assistance they need. This includes specialised support for sleep and settling, feeding, and extra care for babies and toddlers with additional needs.

Minister for Health Infrastructure, Mary-Anne Thomas, highlighted the importance of these centres: “The new early parenting centre in Hastings will mean new mums and dads across the Mornington Peninsula can access the support and advice they need, closer to home.”

We are proud to be part of this vital initiative, helping families thrive in those early, formative years.
