Health professionals can help families significantly during their stay in hospital and when they transition, both before and after the birth of a premature or sick baby.
We’ve consulted with families to provide you with the best information on how to help families at each stage of this life-changing journey.

Many hospitals around Australia have adopted a Family Centred Care (FCC) model. FCC is all about health care professionals working in partnership with children and their families in the delivery of health care.
Families are treated with equal dignity and respect and the individual choices of the family, and its various members, are recognised. An example includes involving parents in the cares of the baby.
