Multiple Birth Awareness Week 2025
Make it a good start for multiple birth families
This Multiple Birth Awareness Week, we’re focusing on how every Australian multiple birth family deserves a good start to their unique journey. Whether it’s:
- finding your community of support,
- joining a multiple birth prenatal session,
- accessing tailored education resources, or
- multiple-birth focused government policies
‘Make it a good start’ is all about ensuring that every multiple birth family begins their journey with the tools, support, and confidence they need to thrive.
We’d love to have you join us this Multiple Birth Awareness Week and support more multiple birth families in their journeys.
