Residential looks in depth at parental issues

To utilise Tresillian's Residential Program, you must have a referral from your Child & Family Health Nurse, your General Practitioner (GP) or Paediatrician.

In our Residential Unit, parents learn more about:

• Nightwaking
• Baby's routine
• Breastfeeding
• Issues with toddlers
• Post Natal Depression
• Relationship issues
• Parentcraft issues

On arrival, our health professionals discuss your issues and work out an individual management plan for your family. A typical residential stay at Tresillian is for four or five nights.

As well as individual counselling sessions, parents can participate in Tresillian's group programs, which include a parent/child interaction group.

A masseur is also available at a minimal cost.

Accommodation varies from Centre to Centre. All Centres provide accommodation so partners can live-in, as well as a nursery for baby. Twin-single rooms are also available. Meals are served in a communal dining area. There is an outdoor courtyard for toddlers and an indoor play area for younger babies.

How much does it cost?

A small accommodation fee is charged for parents however, as Tresillian is funded by the NSW Health Department, medical expenses are covered by Medicare or private health insurance.
