The KAS Revised Framework

• Our goal is to improve the outcomes for children
  and their families by aligning MCH practice with
  current evidence.
• The revised Key Ages and Stages framework
  realigns the Universal MCH activities in
  accordance with current evidence, strengthens the
  clinical role of the MCH nurse and maintains the
  reputation of the Universal Victorian MCH service
  as an international leader within MCH practice.

3
This framework comprises 35 outcomes of
childrens health, learning, development,
wellbeing and safety, incorporating 150
indicators to measure progress towards these
outcomes. (The State of Victorias children 2008)
4
Maternal and Child Health service plays a key
role in improving the identified outcomes for
children and their families.

Goal
All MCH nurses throughout Victoria to implement
the revised Key Ages and Stages Framework.
