Trained HFP presenters spend time with children during their normal pre-school day, and may do any or all of the following:

Good Beginnings provides free early childhood and practical parenting programs for children and families across Australia, based at their Early Years Centres or visits to your home. 22 November 2011 AWCH attended the Youth Health2011 – It’s Totally Important Conference in November in Sydney. The conference ran over 3 days and was a wonderful mix of professionals and young people coming together to discuss youth health. AWCH jointly hosted a pre-conference workshop which had a morning session discussing the rights of young people in healthcare and the standards required to protect those rights followed in the afternoon with presentations and discussion about training and workforce development in adolescent healthcare.
