Labor's Plan to give Children the Best Start in Life
Source: Western Australia. Australian Labor Party. Policy Statement
"Research has demonstrated the importance of identifying child health behavioural and developmental problems early and commencing interventions in the preschool years.

To give our children the best start in life Labor will ensure that every newborn will be visited by a community child health nurse within two weeks of birth, introduce universal newborn hearing screening and fund a 24-hour helpline for new parents."
