Alliance broadens paediatrics experience
Year 4 student Daniel McDonald receives attention from his ‘carer’
Mildura-based Year 4 students now have new opportunities to experience rural paediatrics practice with Mallee Family Care.
The family services provider serves communities along the Murray River from Swan Hill to Mildura and into south-western New South Wales. Families who need support from family services generally have a range of needs which can affect a child’s development.
Year 4 students have been welcomed into various Mallee Family Care children-focused and mental health programs, giving them the students the chance to broaden their experience. Year 4 student, Daniel McDonald, was a willing patient for one budding health professional at the Total Learning Centre, which operates from the Mildura Primary School.
