Welcoming New Families to Melbourne

Are you and your family new to living in the City of Melbourne?

Do you want to learn more about many free services available to you and your family?

Do you want to connect with other families who are also new to Melbourne and get to know the local community?

  • join the library in your area
  • find children's activities and programs
  • access childcare and kindergarten programs
  • keep your child’s immunisations up to date
  • join and run a playgroup
  • enroll with your local maternal and child health nurse
  • find fun things to do in one of the world’s most livable cities.
