In contrast, the intervention group will receive continuity of care, with additional in-person assessment and 'warm hand over' by a 'service navigator' to ensure their needs are met. Children and families needing additional assessments and supports will be electronically directed to relevant resources in the 'care-as-usual' group.

This Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) aims to expand WMG-E as a digital navigation tool by also incorporating parents' mental health and psychosocial needs. WMG-E was developed to monitor child development and guide parents towards more detailed assessments when risk is identified. Watch Me Grow- Electronic (WMG-E) - developmental surveillance platform- exemplifies one such service. The increased mental health and psychosocial needs were compounded by the closure of in-person preventive and health promotion programs resulting in health organisations embracing technology and online services. This has adversely impacted child development and wellbeing, particularly for children from priority populations (culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and rural/regional communities) who are at an already increased risk of health inequality. The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated economic recession has increased parental psychosocial stress and mental health challenges.
