Current health priorities for children and young people include:
- healthy child and adolescent development
- overweight and obesity
- mental health and wellbeing
- communicable disease (including COVID-19)
Our Community Health Nurse’s core business is:
- Adolescence brief intervention for health concerns to provide assessment, education, clinical response within my scope of practice, referrals to WACHS specialists, external agencies and follow up.
- This also includes sexual health screening, testing and discretionary treatments. Enhanced sexual health; pregnancy testing, supporting with contraception avenues, condoms, unplanned pregnancy.

Limitations for confidential services:
- Where possible if deemed appropriate our CHN will contact parent/ carers to discuss their child’s health or concerns.
- Students will not be immunised without parental permission.
- As our CHN works for WA Health, clinical notes are for access to other health clinicians and not Department of Education staff.
- Please note: Under common law, young people under the age of 18 who are determined to be ‘Gillick competent’ (By a health professional in accordance with Fraser guidelines) or a ‘mature minor’ can consent to their own medical assessment and treatment. This for the most part will be in relation to sexual health intervention (this is usually for 13/14yrs +)
- The Department has a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) and WA Country Health Service (WACHS).
