Tweddle@Geelong Day Stay Program
Exciting news!
We are very proud to announce that the Hon Lisa Neville, Minister for Community Services and Member for Bellarine did officially open a new Tweddle regional service in Geelong on Friday 15th May 2009.
Together, Tweddle, Government and St John of God opened the doors of the new permanent facility in February this year. So we are now, a permanent fixture in Geelong providing a local early parenting day stay.
The service operates one day per week and provides support with much more than sleep, offering assistance with a range of early parenting challenges. It is free of charge and available to all families who reside in Geelong and districts. Families can refer themselves or be referred by a health professional by contacting the Raphael Centre Monday-Thursday on 5221 7333.
