Meet Christine 🧡
Christine has worked in Child and Family Health as a Clinical Nurse Specialist and Lactation Consultant for over 20 years. She is now a valued Service Navigator at our Fairfield Integrated Child and Family Hub.
She’s one of the friendly faces you’ll see around the Hub (and even more so when our exciting renovations are complete later this year!).
One of the highlights of Christine’s role is working alongside the diverse local community in Fairfield. Through a weekly Burmese-Karen playgroup run in partnership with STARTTS, she has seen incredible growth in both children and parents.
💬 “I’ve loved seeing children become more confident, curious, and social as they play and develop. One little boy with significant developmental challenges began to speak and smile, while his mum — who had been very quiet — said ‘Merry Christmas’ to me with a huge smile. It was the first time I had heard her speak English.”
With support and connection, both mother and child grew in confidence and were linked in with the services they needed.
💬 “It’s a lovely reminder of why we do this work.”
Thank you, Christine, for the incredible difference you make to children and families every day 💙
