The two Unit Managers will work collaboratively to ensure an innovative and responsive service.

The City of Whittlesea is committed to innovation and enhancing the quality of the MCH service and sector now and into the future. Our structure includes a Planning and Projects Officer who leads significant change and innovation projects, a Nurse Educator to build the workforce capacity, and a dedicated Administration team overseen by its own coordinator.
