📢 Attention all Maternal and Child Health (MCH) nurses in Victoria

Thank you to all the MCH nurses who have helped us spread awareness of GenV in the community so far! We have spoken to MCH nurses in over 60 Local Government Areas with nearly all of these centres having GenV materials on display.  

We’d love your help to continue spreading the word!  

Your community is important. The more families that join GenV, the more complete our picture is of the health and wellbeing of an entire generation of Victorian families.
 

Who can join? 

To be eligible for GenV, families only need to meet the following criteria: 

  1. Their child was born between 4 October 2021 and 3 October 2023. 
  1. The family live in Victoria. 

At least one parent and child need to join to be part and that’s it! This means families you see during 18-month, 2-year and 3.5-year visits meeting these criteria can join.
 

Starting the Conversation 

Raising GenV with families is simple: 

  1. Check: Ask parents of an in-age child if they’ve signed up for GenV. 
  1. Support: Share your enthusiasm for GenV and let them know that participating takes little of their time. 
  1. Refer: If they’re interested, show them the GenV QR code OR direct them to our website: genv.org.au/contact 

Once they provide their details, we can assist them in joining or answering any of their questions. It’s quick and takes less than a minute!

Thank you for your support in connecting families with GenV!
