Making kids count
THE Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages will be in Mareeba next week for the “Our Kids Count” event.
During the community visits, the registry offers a whole range of services to children and adults including applications for birth certificates, marriage certificates and death certificates.
The registry advises that it is important to register the birth of a baby because it helps them access rights and opportunities like enrolling in day care, school and sports.
The hospital, Medicare and Centrelink do not register the baby.
The registration is free.
The Our Kids Count event is on 24 October from 9am to 3pm at the Mulungu Child and Family Centre, on the corner of Atherton and Sutherland Streets, Mareeba.
