Brief description Inequalities in health and developmental outcomes are evident by the time Australian children start school. The “right@home” randomised controlled trial (2013-2016) will evaluate the impact of sustained nurse home visiting for the most disadvantaged families through targeted and intensive delivery of child health, development and parenting support until the children turns 2 years. Follow-up to school entry will evaluate the impact on health and developmental outcomes at ages 3 and 5 years.
