Member for Cootamundra, Steph Cooke, welcomed the announcement and said the Centre would be a vital addition to local support services and programs.

"Caring for a newborn doesn't always go as expected and this new Centre will provide crucial expert care for mum, dad and bub when the going gets tough," she said.

"We want parents across the Cowra region and further afield to feel supported to give them and their child the best start in life."

"The stand alone Centre will provide day services to young families including individual consultations and parent education programs."

Ms Cooke said the Centre is an exciting first step, with the campaign for a Tresillian Residential Unit as part of the Cowra Hospital redevelopment set to continue.

"It is fantastic to have this new Centre locked in, and I will continue to fight for a Tresillian Residential facility as part of the Cowra Hospital redevelopment, as a natural extension of Tresillian day services," she said.

Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor said the local centre would benefit the whole community.

"We know that up to 50 per cent of mums whose babies have sleeping or feeding issues, suffer from post-natal anxiety and depression," she said.

"This centre will have Tresillian nurses and a Gidget Foundation mental health clinician working together to help the baby and parents.

"I know how difficult it can be adjusting to life with a newborn and having services like this close to home really will be life changing for local families."

The new Centre is one of six planned for the state with the other five located in will be located in Goulburn, Grafton, Armidale, Griffith and Muswellbrook.

They will also complement existing centres in Queanbeyan, Coffs Harbour, Dubbo, Taree and Broken Hill, which have provided more than 14,000 services to families in the past two years.
