Research tells us that what happens in a child’s first five years makes the biggest difference to their future health, development and happiness. With this in mind we want to ensure that the Blue Book provides parents and caregivers with useful and relevant information and advice to raise happy and healthy children.

We will consider all feedback given during this consultation, which will help inform the 2015/16 Blue Book edition. The new edition will be available online and in hard copy from early 2016.
My Health and Development Record, more commonly known as the Blue Book, is provided to almost 20,000 South Australian families each year. It is a resource for parents and caregivers to record their child’s health and development milestones, includes immunisation information, and a help section that includes organisations that can be contacted for information, support and advice in the early years.
