Loddon Shire’s Maternal and Child Health service in Boort will be moving to new rooms at Boort District Health from Tuesday 13 June.

The move to Boort District Health, located at 31 Kiniry Street, follows feedback from Maternal and Child Health (MCH) clients via recent surveys.

Council’s Director Community Wellbeing Wendy Gladman thanked MCH clients for taking the time to provide their feedback.

“In response to this feedback, Council will be moving to Boort District Health, providing a more user-friendly experience for our MCH families,” Mrs Gladman said.
