What makes us different
Norwest Central Healthcare provides access to a range of health-based services under one roof, where kids and mothers can receive high quality medical care in a supportive, holistic and safe place. The team are hand-picked for their competency, knowledge and genuine interest in the health and well-being of families. There are paediatric occupational therapists, dietitians and speech therapists that can assist in assessing, managing or correcting developmental, behavioural and functional impairments.
Children's health needs are unique, and every child is unique. Our goal is to work positively with you and your child to build the individualised life skills they need to reach developmental milestones and gain confidence and independence. The child-focused collaborative model of care at NCHC will achieve these goals faster, in a welcoming and friendly environment.

How we can help
Norwest Central Healthcare (NCHC) provides a convenient one-stop location where families can expect evidence-based care from highly experienced and locally-trained therapists and GPs who are fully accredited.
Our centre was conceived from many years of treating children and observing the difficulties families experienced in navigating the complex and fragmented world of developmental and behavioural screening, early intervention, funding and timely access to essential services. Attending to routine medical check-ups, vaccinations and common childhood illnesses is vital and allows us to best meet the individualised needs of children. Availability of an on-site kid’s GP working collaboratively in a team of skilled health professionals helps to maximise all children’s health outcomes.
Remembering Julie
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Practice Manager, Julie.
Julie was truly one of a kind. She was the face of NCHC - the first to greet you, the big smile at the front desk, and the familiar voice we all loved hearing throughout the Practice. Her positivity, quick wit, and tireless dedication to helping others never went unnoticed. Julie was a shining light who left a lasting impression on every patient who walked through our doors.
We would love to hear your memories and stories of Julie - the moments that made you smile, laugh, or feel cared for.
