There are no published guidelines in Australia for the allied health care of infants and toddlers (0\u20132\u2009years) who have been exposed to AoD in utero.

Responses indicated inconsistencies with allied health involvement including professions involved and time points for follow\u2010up care. Funding was highlighted as a key barrier to conducting follow\u2010up assessments, with 12 of 15 (80%) health services reporting they received no dedicated funding for this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Within the responding services, our data reflects the lack of consensus on any standardised process for assessment or follow\u2010up service delivery for this high\u2010risk patient population. Although the response rate was low, it is consistent with previous health professional survey research.
