ACT Kindergarten Health CheckACT Government Health DirectorateBackgroundSince 1998, all children enrolled in kindergarten (the first year of full time school in the ACT) are invited to participate in the Kindergarten Health Check. The Health Check is part of the ACT Health Child, Youth and Women's Health program. It includes checks on vision, hearing, height, weight, and development. Parents provide written consent for their child to participate, and completed a questionnaire covering demographic details; self-reported Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status, health history, and a range of health-related questions. It also includes the Strengths and Difficulties Questionaire (SDQ) and the Parent’s Evaluation of Development Status (PEDS) questionnaire.?The Academic Unit of General Practice collates the questionnaire data, and school health nurses perform the health checks, according to a pre-defined ACT Health Directorate protocol.?Results are sent to children’s GP and children are referred to specific health services as required.? The information is used to monitor child health trends and improve health services in the ACT.
