Nurturing
Child Health and Wellbeing in Western Sydney Most of a child’s brain development happens in the first 2,000 days of their lives. During this time, parents, caregivers, general practitioners and anyone in a child’s life play an important role in setting the foundation for future growth and development.
The Western Sydney Immunisation Bike Competition Do you have a 12 month, 18 month or four year old who is due for their immunisations? The 2024 Immunisation Bike Competition is now open and will run until 31 January 2025. Children who are immunised at a participating practice can enter the annual prize draw to win a bike and helmet. Please immunise your child at a participating practice and complete the competition entry form to join.
Regular Well-Child checks with your general practitioner or paediatrician from birth help to keep track of immunisation and developmental progress. They also ensure children are meeting their milestones as needed. The My Personal Health Record (the Blue Book) is a great way of enjoying your child’s growth and developmental progress.

What is the Blue Book? The Blue Book is given to new parents or caregivers at birth and is available in English and 18 other languages. Inside the Blue Book, you’ll find pages for recording your child’s milestones, visits to the doctor and immunisation records. By using this book, you can easily monitor your child’s health and ensure they are on track with their development. It also serves as a helpful resource to share with health care providers during check-ups.
The Importance of Immunisation Immunisation is a key part of keeping your child healthy and protecting them from serious diseases. Vaccines help build your child’s immunity, which is their body’s defence against illness. The Blue Book contains information about which vaccines your child needs and when to get them. There are a number of resources available for parents on the NSW Health First five years webpage.
By staying on top of immunisations and using the Blue Book, you’re taking an important step in safeguarding your child’s health and wellbeing.
Healthy Western Sydney is delivered by WentWest, the Western Sydney Primary Health Network.
