The Western Melbourne ABA Group has received funding to provide local expectant parents and families with a new baby who are living in the Hobsons Bay area with a. 12 month membership to the Australian breastfeeding association. For expectant mums, this includes the cost of a Breastfeeding Preparation Session (in person or online).

Membership includes access to a wide range of support and resources, including free Breastfeeding Education Classes, evidence-based information, a 24/7 Breastfeeding Helpline and LiveChat, and ongoing support throughout your feeding journey.

This form can be used by mums or their care providers to benefit from a subsidised membership. Please complete the attached Expression of Interest form and return it to us. We will then be in touch with details about accessing the funding.

Inclusivity is at the heart of ABA, and we are committed to making our services more accessible to families who may otherwise face barriers to participation. We warmly encourage expressions of interest from anyone who feels this opportunity would make it easier to access support—for example, families experiencing financial hardship, single parents, culturally and linguistically diverse families, mums with a disability, mums expecting multiples, families affected by family violence, young parents, or anyone who feels they would benefit.

There is no need to disclose your personal circumstances or provide explanation. No questions will be asked about your situation, and all expressions of interest will be treated confidentially. 💜
