The Commonwealth is working in partnership with states and territories to establish a national network of Head to Health Kids Hubs (mental health and wellbeing centres) for children aged 0 - 12 years and their families. Through an integrated, multidisciplinary team approach the Kids Hubs will deliver a range of specialist medical and allied health services (including culturally appropriate services), enabling families to access a range of supports and services including for behavioural and developmental concerns. The Kids Hubs will complement and integrate with existing state funded maternal and child health services, including child and adolescent mental health services and ACCHO's, to ensure seamless support and transition for families and to make a complex system more accessible.
