The Better Beginnings program provides every baby in Western Australia with a free reading pack.
Your reading pack includes:
- A board book (this is a gift from your local council)
- A nursery rhyme poster
- A book list for babies and toddlers filled with great books to find at your local library
- A brochure with tips for reading with your baby
- Nursery Rhymes for Every Day booklet and CD
- A yellow library bag.
Your Community Child Health Nurse can supply you with a reading pack when you visit your local Child Health Clinic with your baby for their eight week health check. You can search for your closest Maternal, Child & Family Health Centre here.
You can also go directly to your local library and ask for a Better Beginnings birth pack for your baby. You can search for your nearest library using our Library Finder.
You can take out a membership for you and your baby.
