Child Development Information System
CDIS makes the delivery of healthcare more effective and efficient – by improving safety and outcomes, expediting service delivery, maximising health care provider utilisation, and keeping costs under control, by eliminating duplicate data entry and other significant redundancies.
The system was built as part of an integrated health care solution, the Electronic Knowledge and Information Data System (eKIDS), which is interoperable with legacy and future applications. Additionally, CDIS can easily be tailored to fit your information requirements and workflow preferences.
Within a reliable and secure centralised database, functionality includes:
- tracking client activity
- service and history recording
- referral workflow
- appointment and clinical availability scheduling
- clinical assessment
- treatment and review
- detailed reporting.
CDIS is compatible with existing technology and infrastructure, streamlines data collection, includes flexible reporting, and enables enhanced communication between key stakeholders and healthcare professionals, leading to happier and healthier families.

Contact the Helpdesk
- Log in to the CDIS Helpdesk system.
- Phone the CDIS Helpdesk on 1300 856 183 (recommended for urgent assistance).
Councils should designate one key MCH officer to deal with problems and to contact the CDIS Helpdesk, if necessary. This will ease the workload on the helpdesk staff by reducing multiple requests to resolve the same problem.
The CDIS Helpdesk operates between the following hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9am to 5pm
- Saturday: 9am to 12pm (Limited support. Support will only be available for urgent and high priority requests.)
Outside of standard operating hours, you can phone and leave a voicemail message which will be processed first thing in the morning.
Reporting critical CDIS faults after hours
Phone the After Hours On-Call Support Service on 1300 856 183.
Messages left on this service are monitored from 7am to 8am and 9pm to 10pm on weekdays. From 9am to 6pm on public holidays.
