GPs can refer South Western Sydney families to the Growing Healthy Kids Service, SWSPHN and South Western Sydney Local Health District partnership which aims to reduce overweight and obesity in children aged two to 17 years.
Through the service, psychologists, dietitians, exercise physiologists, paediatricians, paediatric endocrinologists and social workers, work with the child’s family on a multidisciplinary approach to weight management.
The program offers four to six months of appointments designed around the child’s needs and goals.
Families are offered one of three inter-related pathways:
- An intensive weight management program (six individual and three group sessions), including parent/ child education sessions and multi-disciplinary clinic appointment sessions, and medical assessment.
- A dietitian only service (three clinic appointments and three group sessions), including parent/ child education sessions and a lifestyle assessment.
- An additional endocrinology service is available for those children identified during medical assessment by the GHK paediatrician.
