The Nursery Equipment Program provides safe nursery equipment for vulnerable Victorian families where a safety concern has been identified by a Maternal and Child Health (MCH) nurse on the MCH safe sleeping checklist.
This includes the provision of free cots and child car seat restraints that comply with Australian Safety Standards.
For information on this checklist and MCH nurse visits, visit the Better Health Channel.

Further information
Information will be provided to the MCH sector regarding any changes to NEP processes and training available to relevant staff.
