Child Health Clinic

Nambour Clinic runs a Child Health and Immunisation Clinic on Wednesday from 9am until 5pm by appointment only.

The service provides support to mothers of newborns through to prep aged children. We give advice on common concerns like breastfeeding, introducing solids, postnatal depression, sleep and settling as well as assessing children by weighing, measuring and checking development.  The clinic also carries out many of the routine childhood vaccinations. Referrals to other agencies are also undertaken should they be required.

The Clinic is undertaken by registered nurse Anita Agapow who has endorsements as a Midwife, Immunisation Provider, Isolated Practice Nurse and also hold a Graduate Certificate in Child and Family Health.

Anita’s nursing experience includes Intensive Care/Coronary Care, Midwifery, Rural and Remote and several years as a Flight Nurse with the RFDS after which she worked in a large birth suite in Sydney for 2 years before having her first child.

Now days she is mostly a stay at home mother to two young children but has maintained an interest in Child and Family Health through her work at the Nambour Clinic and attendance at several midwifery, immunisation and child health conferences throughout the year.

Anita is also a Justice of the Peace (Qualified) and her other interests include cycling, swimming, reading, camping. She also has a passion and active involvement in her children’s school and kindergarten pursuits.
