Did you know that if you are feeling vaccine hesitant, you can make an appointment with a health professional here at BADAC to discuss your concerns. We pride ourselves in providing a non-judgemental and supportive service. Part of that is offering you a safe space to discuss the Covid vaccine and help you to make an informed decision.

Thank you to for reminding us that Christmas time can be stressful for our little ones. They need our help to feel safe and secure.

There are many wonderful opportunities here on Wadawurrung Country (Ballarat) for that special Christmas photo, especially if sitting with Santa is too scary for your child. Check out the giant Christmas bauble in the Bridge Mall and the gorgeous floral reindeer and sleigh in the middle of Sturt Street.

For more details on how your family can celebrate Christmas, at your own pace, right here in Ballarat click the link 🎄✨
