​Having a baby is a huge change to your life. There may be times you are feeling overwhelmed, but help is available.

Online support from your own home

Virtual Residential Parenting Service (VRPS) is a free online service for NSW families with 0–3 year old children who need extra support. The service runs over five days and four nights.

We can help you with:

  • sleeping and settling
  • feeding
  • child development and behaviour
  • your mental wellbeing.

What's involved

You will attend telehealth sessions from your home, with your child. We welcome partners and other carers to join the sessions. 

You are connected to a team of health professionals, such as:

  • child and family health nurses
  • social workers, psychologists
  • doctors.

VRPS is an online service. You will need:

  • reliable internet
  • your own device with a camera (computer, iPad/tablet, smart phone).

If you are enrolled in the service, this video will help you get ready for your sessions.
