Schools and Child Care
The WA School Health Program Guide supports professionals from Health and Education sectors, along with the broader community, to better understand the key role of community health nurses (CHNs) working in schools.
The document also reinforces the collaborative relationship with the Department of Education that is essential to optimise student health and wellbeing outcomes.
The School Health Program offers best practice services, shaped by the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards and provides a framework of service provision for children and young people (of school age) aged 3.5 to 18 years.
This document provides guidance for all those who deliver school health programs or services for children and young people in Western Australia.
